What precisely do you mean by "console mode accounts"? Any user account that has a shell defined in its /etc/passwd entry may be accessed from the console, and the code for that shell is certainly open source.

Sorry, I meant accountancy packages that run in console mode (ie do not require X11). Mark. -- Mark Hobley Linux User: #370818 http://markhobley.yi.org/

That was what I did when I wanted a console spreadsheet... ran Lotus 1-2-3 (or whatever it was) in a DOS emulator (dosbox or dosemu). There's enough DOS software on the net as abandonware so you should be able to try a range of apps. Getting something to talk modern file formats might be a bit of a challenge, though. You're allowed to use a more recent version of DOS, though :) FreeDOS is, err, free. > Also there used to be at least when I was looking. many SCO UNIX > accounting packages designed for 80x25 terminals. > > Im sure they still exist somewhere, but they tend to be non-free as teh > support is necessary and expensive. Yes, if you're doing any kind of business accounting support may be an issue. I have no idea if big software companies still support customers that refuse to upgrade because they use the software in some business-critical role. This list looks interesting: http://www.aaxnet.com/design/linuxacct.html See also the links at the bottom. Theo |
