Andrew,
Gold Disk used to publish a programs called DeskTop Budget. It was a very
easy to use program with a fe minor problems (like it subtracted one from
the day value portion of dates on any checks input to the program). It
was a little thin on some reports, but overall, for managing a budget,
seeing where money went etc it was a good and easy to use peice of
software. I don't know if GD still publishes it or not, as the long
promised updates never appeared, but it was a good little program and
might suit your purposes quite well if you can find a copy.
It was much easier to use than Phasar and got around some problems with
Phasar 3.0 like the 9 char limit to cell entries. The DTB front end is
all Iconic for both income/expense categories, credit card accounts, and
checking accounts. It could have domintated the personal/small business
accounting packages on the Amiga, but GD and the author seemed to loos
interest before they really gave it a chance and any advretising.
