GNU Pem
=======
Hi,
GNU Pem is a handy tool to help you keep track of your
personal income and expenses. On GNU/Linux and other Unix-
like systems, Pem works by storing the details in a CSV file
placed in the ~/.pem directory under your $HOME directory.
On Windows, the same file is placed in pem directory, under
the %USERPROFILE% directory. Each such file is named after
the current month, and is automatically created by Pem when
you enter the first record for a month. It is not advisable
to edit these files by hand.
Installation:
=============
On GNU/Linux and other Unix-like systems: just say
$ ./configure [--prefix=/install/directory]
$ make
# make install
By default, this should install Pem under /usr/local/bin
directory, assuming you have the right privileges to do
that. You may also consider changing the prefix using the
--prefix option, in case you don´t have the necessary
permissions. For more information please see:
$ ./configure --help.
On Windows:
-----------
Copy and paste the pem.pl file to the directory where
you keep your other executable files, and make sure, this
directory is included in your %PATH% variable. That´s all,
GNU Pem is ready to serve you. :)
For usage information about pem, on GNU/Linux et al., try
$ pem --help
$ man pem
$ info pem
On Windows try
C:\> pem.pl --help
Also, use the pem.txt file to explore what Pem can do, and
how it does that.
Bugs/Comments:
==============
Please send any suggestions/comments or bug reports you
may have, to <pj.pandit@yahoo.co.in>. They are most welcome
and appreciated.
Thank you!
