Windows Version of Lewis ACCOUNTS
PAYABLE
The Windows version 5.00 was first released in
May 2003. This version is only
for Windows.
The Windows version
has the same range of accounting functions as the tried and proven MS/DOS
version. It uses the data in Version 4 of the
DOS program. However, the Windows
version lets you take advantage of many aspects of the Windows computer
environment.
Features
Flexibility and
reliability are the two most important characteristics of the Lewis ACCOUNTS
PAYABLE package for creditors. It is
vital that the Windows version maintains the flexibility and reliability.
Nowhere is this more
important than in the print-outs for remittance advices and cheques. As before, you can choose your own layout,
and tell where you want each piece of information to be printed. In the Windows version, for each text or data
variable you can also control the size of the font; whether it is bold,
underlined or italic; and which font to use.
The Windows program
lets you use pull-down menus and command buttons to navigate around and execute
the many functions of the program.
Almost every commonly-used facility can be done either using a click of
the mouse, or a single
key-stroke. If your hand is already on
the mouse you will tend to use the mouse, and if it is already on the keyboard
you will tend to use the keyboard.
Some of the
noticeable advantages you will get from the Windows version are:
- Much greater flexibility on
using printers.
- Much higher quality of
printing. This is particularly important
for remittance advices and cheques.
- Much better backup options,
particularly for larger capacity disk drives.
