ok there are those of who need quicken home / business and quick books and do want cash manager From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Richard P.

It retails for fifty dollars and is very accessible out of the box with Jaws. I’ve even trialed it on a Win 98 PC with Jaws 5.10 and it performed very well. It’s an excellent alternative to Quicken for those who wish to track bank accounts, credit cards, expenses, print checks and reports. And, it works very well without scripting.

Each year the script will have to change and older scripts might not work with the new release; so these would not be backwards compatible scripts. It is possible they could work with older versions; but I can't guarantee the year to year versions will be the same. I would start with the latest meaning quickbooks 2011. I would keep this project going by possibly charging for the scripts. Nothing outrageous; just enough to keep development for the future. I don't know of other possibilities of getting the project funded every year; but perhaps this is where other organizations will come in. I haven't charged for scripts before; so this is new to me. This would definitely make for better support; but the scripts would have to remain closed source unless I sell the rights to them. I am aware that this might make us run out to get the latest version; so another charge to make it accessible doesn't seem fair in the beginning. If I got it funded by kick start; the first year would be free; while the following years would have a price to them to keep it going since this is a monster of a program.; Let me know your thoughts on this.; John Martyn __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 6091 (20110503) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com
