Someone asked that I post the results from my search for `The Checkbook
Program'.  No one had a copy of the program that I was looking for.
However, I had many recomendations on a new program.  The overwhelming 
winner was "Quicken".  It supposedly list for $60 and can be found for
about $35.  I had five out of six people recommend it.  This is what 
people said it would do.

I would like to say thanks to all of the people that responded.  It is
much appreciated.
