SQL-Ledger: Comparing with other packages...

[Rene N. <re...@ne...>]

Dear netters,

I was wondering if there are other packages that can be compared with
SQL-ledger. What are their advantages and disadvantages. Would it be
possible to include part of other packages in SQL-ledger, like a better
invoice modules.

As a start I have created a list of packages that sound interesting.
Especially, DEA sounds interesting since it has PDF generating capacities,
which allows for more professional invoices. I didn't try them all myself
yet, but they look interesting.

Further, are their other frontends for the SQL-Ledger database. I am
thinking of Applix Office for example. Using the SHELF language this should
be possible to do without much effort. Anyone experiences?


Overview of financial packages:

I would like to make a list of all packages (commercial and free) for
business users. Complete with descriptions and review. Just to help others
in their migration from Win to Linux.
Hopefully, you can help.

Kind regards,
Rene Nederhand
