I've been using SQL-Ledger successfully for about 3 years now without any problem. It's got a very active user base with quite a few aussies, and it's GPL. I use a very small part of it's capabilities (for instance, I don't do inventory etc) but I'm much happier with it than I was with MYOB. It's Postgresql/Perl. It's interesting in that it's written by one guy who makes his dosh by selling support, so there are no free docos. OTOH, his support is excellent. I've never had to wait for longer than a few hours for a reply by email. > > Regards, > Edwin Humphries, Managing Director > Mobile: 0419 233 051 > Ironstone Technology Pty Ltd > P. O.
