No. As another newcomer to unix, we have begun exploring as you obviously have, looking for accounting systems to offer our clients....we have located one that shows promise, and will soon be picking up some of the available modules to check them out. (I don't work for these folks, haven't looked at their products, and don't endorse them The publisher, NCS Technologies (39 Kent Street North #5, Simcoe, Ontario, N3Y 3S1) offers the following "Kwic Accounting" modules in both single and multiuser versions: G/L A/R A/P POS/IC S/O P/O B/M P/R (Cdn) and Job Costing. Single user versions for dos 3+ & 4+, multiuser versions for dos networks (Novell, MS Net) Unix System V and SCO Xenix 286/386. These packages range in price from $Cdn350 per module (single user, level 2 support) to about $Cdn650 (multiuser, level 2) - price estimate is for the General Ledger. POS and a few others higher, rest as G/L. We have asked for demos, and are interested primarily because of the ability to integrate dos and xenix systems without scrapping the dos accounting systems or data. I won't quote from their advertising, since we haven't tried it and I don't want to rely on a vendor's descriptions for my descisions....at any rate, demos are available to dealers who request them, if I read their forms correctly, and they may be able to point you to a nearby dealer who can provide some hands-on for you. I'd appreciate seeing a digest of any information you can gather on xenix accounting systems - we're going to check as many out as we can before hitching our wagon.... -- | 1B Systems Management Ltd.
