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. wmc – via Autopilot!
