I have been seeing that off and on this list keeps talking about Tally and how to run this on GNU/Linux? Tally is not a free software, and I dont see why users should discuss this on this list.
On the other hand availability of accounting packages is a big problem and several hackers are addressing this issue, including some of our own list members. We should discuss those issues.
This list is not for discussing propreitary software, but free software.
I too have a similiar opinion. Except that in case of tally in India, it is the one package which prevents a complete windose free enterprise. So imho an exception is called for in this case as it will hopefully generate sufficient ire against tally / interest in free alternatives. And in any case we will have to discuss tally while working on alternatives. Which will have to continue as peutronics will start screwing the database formats in response to competition.
Btw KG i have downloaded avsap abt 45 days ago. Guess it's time to shake the lethargy. Saswata has promised domain knowledge.
Saswata is suffering from higher degree of inertia / lethargy than you. I have downloaded avsap almost 2 months ago, but not installed it yet.
The INSTALL instructions need to have distro specific sections for Debian. Also dependencies should be made available for debian alongwith the main package. Particulary wxPython which is not available on woody.And why cheetah. Cant we stick to apache.
I am now more worried. I didnt even know the software was for debian and will not work as-is on suse 9.3 :(
