Macintosh System Requirements
* RAM: the MacNail construction accounting software requires at least one megabyte
of RAM memory. memory You can use a Mac Plus, a Mac SE, any Mac II, or an SE/30. You can also
use any older Mac (128, 512,
or 512E) that has been upgraded to a Mac Plus.
NOTE-- In 2000, MacNail was replaced by
Goldenseal construction
accounting software. Goldenseal is an integrated program that
includes general accounting, job costing, payroll and
project billing, plus estimating and other features.
It runs on any computer produced since 1995 or so.
NOTE: For best results, you should have the latest
version of System and Finder
installed on your hard disk. You can usually get a free copy
of the latest System software from
your local dealer or
User's Group.
*
Hard Drive: Disk DrivesMacNail requires
a hard disk of any size. We recommend a 20 megabyte hard disk
as an
absolute minimum. 40 to 100 megabyte
hard disks are not much more expensive, and the extra
space will nearly always be worth the
extra cost.
*
Excel: MacNail requires that you have
a copy of Microsoft Excel loaded onto your hard disk. MacNail
3.0 will
only run successfully under Excel version
1.5 or greater.
NOTE: If you are using Excel version
2.2 or greater, we strongly recommend that you have a minimum
of two megabytes
of RAM. See page 207.
Windows System Requirements
* Computer: the MacNail construction accounting software requires an IBM PS/2, or any
PS/2-compatible computer that is capable of supporting Microsoft Windows and extended memory. For best results,
your computer should have
at least a '286
processor, and a clock speed of at least 16 megahertz.
*
RAM: MacNail requires at least two megabytes of internal memory (also known as RAM). Microsoft
Windows is very memory-intensive, and you may want to install four megabytes of RAM to avoid future
memory shortages.
*
Hard Drive: Disk DrivesMacNail requires a hard disk of any size. We recommend a 40 megabyte
hard disk as a minimum. Choose 60 megabytes or more if possible--large hard disks are not much more expensive
than smaller ones.
*
Mouse: Although MacNail can be run completely from the keyboard, you will find that a mouse makes
all operations go much easier. It will let you take much better advantage of the friendlier 'graphic
interface' that is provided by Windows and Excel.
*
Microsoft Windows: MacNail requires that you have Microsoft Windows loaded onto your hard disk. Check
your Excel manual to see which version of Windows is required.
*
Microsoft Excel: MacNail also requires that you have a copy of Microsoft Excel loaded onto your hard
disk.
