Message-ID: Date: 10 Oct 89 14:37:53 GMT Sender: larry@focsys.UUCP Distribution: na Organization: Focus Systems Inc. Waterloo, Ontario. Lines: 24 Our financial department is growing and we would like to integrate their computer system with the company wide unix network. Currently they are running one small ms-dos based system. Pure unix accounting packages seem too expensive. We don't want to pay $20k to keep track of our meager earnings! Pure ms-dos packages are fine as long as we can run them on vp/ix and as long as the data is sharable by the 2 or 3 users. What can we expect from a dos accounting package running on vp/ix? Will it be usable? Can you offer any insight? -larry ps. I'd like to talk with anyone with any experience in this area. Please call or send me your phone number and I will call you. Thanks. -- Larry Williamson -- Focus Automation Systems Inc. -- watmath!focsys!larry (519) 746-4918
