NAME
hb - Simple Budget Management Program

SYNOPSIS
'hb.py' or 'python hb.py' [-d budget directory] [-f budget file name]

DESCRIPTION
hb is a python program for managing simple budgets. As budget management programs go, hb is rather modest, though it does do some rather useful things. However, people learning python will (hopefully) find it quite useful as an example of a complete python program which uses many of the data structures and idioms of the language. Detailed documentation can be found in the program distribution in a set of files beginning with #- and ending in .txt. If hb has been installed on FreeBSD using the ports system, all the hb documentation and default budget file can be found in /usr/local/share/doc/hb.

CONFIGURING HB
Before you start hb, you need to set the default directory and budget file name found at the beginning of the program. Also, if you want to run it directly without having to invoke python explicitly, make sure the first line of the program correctly points to the location of the python interpreter. Also insure that hb.py permissions are set to 755.

BUGS AND MISFEATURES
None known as of this release. hb is written in 'python' and has been used on both FreeBSD and Windows 2000 installations. If you are using something else that supports 'python', give it a whirl.

COPYRIGHT
