One that is, of course, blind friendly. Pull-down menus or numbered key choices from a screen menu, okay. I need to do simple home money management, track a check register, income and expense tracking, keep track of credit card purchases, etc. I don't need fancy reports like account summaries or general ledgers. Just simple transaction data entry would be fine. Anybody remember MoneyCounts 8.0 for DOS from Parsons Technology. Well, I am still using it even to print checks. I would like to do all this in linux so I don't have to reboot back to DOS. Any accounting programs available in linux that are blind friendly? Oh, does anybody remember Charlie Crawford's talking checkbook program? That used to be available from www.empowermentzone.com? I have this one too, but it is DOS. But, it was freeware. Q. Has this program been ported to linux? If anybody knows how to get in touch with Charlie Crawford, please let him know that a linux port would be useful to many of his fellow blind friends. Any ideas, listers? -- Bill Gaughan wgaughan@snet.net
