SBT in Sausulito, CA produces a set of accounting packages using
FoxBase.  Each accounting package can be used alone or linked to other
related packages.  We use accounts receivable, sales orders, accounts
payable, payroll and general ledger.  All the the modules are linked
to general ledger.  Sales orders is linked to accounts receivable.
Payroll is linked to accounts payable.  There are other packages such
as professional billing, purchase orders, etc.  You can purchase the
source code or compiled versions and the set of programs that best fits
your needs.  SBT also maintains a list of vendors who have customized SBT
for specific businesses, bakeries, florist shops, welding shops, etc.

We found the system easy to install an use.  We recommended the
packages to three other businesses who purchased a full set of
packages and are up and running without any problems.
