avsap is back
by Kenneth Gonsalves 23 May '09

23 May '09

hi, I have updated avsap to run on the wxPython 2.8.9.1. It is available here: svn co https://svn.nrcfosshelpline.in/public/helpline/branches/avsap avsap for those who do not know the history of avsap, it was used in production for several years by some clients of mine, was first released in perl and then later ported to python. Unfortunately in 2003, installation was extremely difficult as cool things like yum and apt-get were not there. Since not one of the thousand or so people who downloaded it was successful in installing it, I got fed up and stopped maintaining it. I will maintain and develop it if a few people show interest in using it. I think it is the only accounting software in India available in so many Indian languages (and Italian too). For this reason I have not set up a mailing list or any other support infrastructure. You may mail me if you have questions. I have changed the license to the BSD license. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/

OSALT for Tally?
by Pravin Dhayfule 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi Folks, Am building a list of Applications to be presented as OSAlt (Open Source Alternatives) to frequently used commercial applications. Some of my accountant friends asked me one single question, and am finding answer for it: "Do you have anything for Tally that will work on Linux?" Since I am not from financial background and never used Tally, I didnt find a proper answer. Through Search Engine I did come across GnuCash, but dont know how it compares to Tally. Has anyone used it, so that I can lay out points on transitioning from Tally to GnuCash or any other OpenSource/Free Alternative to Tally. Bye Regards

> > Yeah I got your point. Indeed by transitioning I mean to say for a fresh setup for users who are familiar to tally. For example a new firm who has decided to go for Open Source Platform, this can be recommended to them: 1. Desktop Linux as Operating system (Open Suse, Ubuntu, Fedora etc.) 2. Open Office as Office Application 3. Lots of inbuilt tools in Linux corresponding to the tools for similar activities in Paid OS 4. GNU Cash, GNU Khata, AVSAP or any Open Source financial Application if the firm needs accounting software. There's always a quest to learn new things, so enthusiastic and optimistic people may not hesitate to tryout these new applications.

Sorry, openerp / tinyerp does not come up as anternate to tally. Tally is a simple accounting software not constrained by erp norms like data authenticity, audit trails, interlocking controls and even data integrety. Openerp is a much more complex software and not a substitute for tally. In the normal sense, an erp is mot an accounting software. Its much more. And due to that it can't take place of accounting software. It will only work where the users WANT something much more than accounting.

Thanks a Lot Everybody

19 May '09

Hi Folks, Thanks a lot for answering my query with enthusiasm. I am looking forward to try Gnu Khata. Also for Kenneth's message: On Tuesday 19 May 2009 11:43:00 Pravin Dhayfule wrote: >* However I also came across http://avsap.sourceforge.net/ through Google. * dont - it is not maintained. Although I would be thrilled if you came forward to maintain it ;-) -- I would like to maintain it, if its matter of maintaining the website. Similar to GNU Khata are there any more software developed by the members of this mailing list. Would love to know about them, so that I can build a repository to share them through my site www.dhayfule.com Bye Regards On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 2:14 PM, <linuxers-request(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in>wrote: > Send Linuxers mailing list submissions to > linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > linuxers-request(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in > > You can reach the person managing the list at > linuxers-owner(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Linuxers digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
