RE: Financial Accounting Software on Linux

[Rajkumar Andrews <shibumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Atul - Many thanks.  I get confidence after reading your emails.

Could you (others) suggest what I do with WINE.  I think one of the PC Quest 
CDs had it and I'd like to give it a try myself first before I put it on the 
clients machine.  They I will try Tally.

What are the printing hassles? My client has a HP Deskjet and will soon get a 
dot matrix (TVSE) printer? Any special setup/config details required in WINE 
to get print outs? (You would appreciate that one needs the print outs to 
carry on one's normal routine activities!

Thanks and Regards,
Rajkumar Andrews
