Steve Tim Avery here. I don't know if you mber me or not, but I'm the guy who was working with EasyLedgers. I've been using it now for some time, and can now give you detailed feedback. It's a good program (the *only* decent accounting program for the Amiga) but it needs some work: 1. My version (B2) crashes about once every couple hours or so, but sometimes after only 10 minutes. It always crashes when entering invoices. I have two Amiga 2000s, and it happens on both machines. Gotta be the software. The Rebuild facility restores the files with no data loss, but it takes about 10 minutes for a rebuild. At three crashes a day, that's half an hour gone. 2. The program prints most reports involving accounts in the order the accounts are listed in the books. That sucks…put in a alpha/numerical sort routine. 3. I Would like to see the inclusion of a report generator, rather than a raw dump to another program (but keep the dump for spreadsheets). 4. There's no way to calculate finance charges. Heck, even B.E.S.T. had that… 5. When choosing "Print Invoice", allow the operator to type in an invoice number, rather than having to accept the system's number. 6. Change the Cash Sale operation so that Cash Sales automatically go into the Bank, rather than having to do a separate "receipt" from "Cash Sale" to get the money in the bank. Other than these gripes (the crashing being the most serious, `natch) I think EasyLedgers is a very good program that could be made even better. I only hope that Amiga sales of this product allow the development to smooth things out. Tim Avery
