.SH NAME
hb \- Simple Budget Management Program

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


.SH 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.


.SH 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.

.SH 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.


.SH COPYRIGHT

1-HB-License.txt file in the program distribution.  If you install hb on
a FreeBSD system using the 'ports' mechanism, you will also find this
