Stay far, far away from D&S.  It's a sloppily done port from MS-DOS to Mac to
Atari ST.  I lost three months worth of data and the program then trashed
my back-up.  Star Monogram refuses to support ST users.  Their attitude is
that there is not a large enough customer base to care about.  I have
been told by Monogram that there will be no update to the bug-ridden program
that's out there.

I spent $80 on the package when it was new.  Printing is only part of the 
problem.

If you want a dependable home accounting program for reasonable bucks, buy
PHASAR from Antic.  Or, if you have Spectre and can run Mac stuff, I would
recomend Quicken.

Dollars and Sense for the ST is junk!
