Recommended programs for account management

Post by RalfR »

I would like to know which programs are recommended for account management. Does anyone use such a program and if so, which one?

Years ago I tried to get Cash-Trader to work, but I can't got it to work, I don't remember why.

I used "QL.Home Finance" a long time ago, but unfortunately that is written absolutely and probably won't work on SMSQ/E and large memory. Unfortunately, I always liked using it.

Hi Ralf,

Cash Trader source code is available on the QL Homepage, do maybe the programme could be tailored to your needs.

Looking at the Business Section on QL Home page, there is: Home Finance by Buzz software and QL Small Trader by SD Microsystems.

As I wrote, I couldn't get "Cash-Trader" to work.

There is only an additional version of "Home Finance" in the ZIP for 640k, so it shouldn't run on SMSQ/E. The program is in machine code and unfortunately written absolutely. Someone would have to do something to the code to make it work otherwise. I even don't understand why the program needs an extra loading program in machine code.

I don't know "Small Trader by SD Microsystems" you mentioned, it would be worth trying.

There is also Qlerk from Bill Cable. It is a set of Archive procedures for doing accounts. Here is the detail from Dilwyn's site:

Qlerk (237K) - a financial package for personal/small business use (Bill Cable)

And the direct link for download is:

https://dilwyn.theqlforum.com/business/qlerkfol.zip

There is documentation in the zip file.

First of all, thank you to everyone who gave me tips. I have a lot to try out.

Regarding "Home Finance": The program is started via CALL, but there are labels at the very bottom of the code, which usually (QL) indicate a compiler for a high-level language (even the loader program has). I don't think the program was written in MC. However, I have never come across such code. Perhaps cross-compiled? Only the author can tell us that.
