Many thanks for all the answers; it turns out that the best source of starting points/information, is the GnuCash project's webpage <http://gnucash.ml.org/>; under the links area, you'll find direction to most of the existing financial/checkbook software for UNIX systems. Particularly of interest is CBBrowne's "Finances, Linus, and Stuff" page <http://www.hex.net/~cbbrowne/finances.html>, which has a very comprehensive list of packages. Thanks, all! --j -- Jim Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd say something pithy, but I'm too pithed off. -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
