See the attached file -- list of alternatives.
But I am not aware about an alternative to Tally for Commerce students. Creating an alternative for Tally is also a very improtant task, becuase now a days auditors (FCA/ACA) are forcing even government firms to buy/install Tally, becuase they are familiar with it. GNU Cash may evolve as an alternative.
Thank you, Renni for the document. I would also suggest that, when we write, we can also suggest changes in the syllabus that would introduce sensible alternative applications/software. For instance, I thought it would be interesting and useful to teach some tools like audacity, cinelerra and advanced image editing to, say, students of Humanities, Octave, gnuplot and xmaxima (and maybe Python) to students of Physics and Maths, and so on. Please give your suggestions.
Consider also teaching CSound and PD. They can put also in touch students of arts and science.
