Famous last words?
Anyways how sure are you that Reliance is running it? I asked a Senior VP at Reliance 2 days ago if reliance had bought tally (since they came out with that phone deal a few months or a year ago) and he replied in the negative. Now Reliance is a big company so it's probable that one dept doesnt know what another is doing and I may be wrong.
Reliance bought tally in 2001. They purchased 75% of the company shares and left the remaining with the original promotor. Dont know if they bought them out later. There were over 100 developers and engineers working on tally in the reliance capital office at worli, mumbai in 2001-2002 to bring out the tally 6.3 version. I am quiet sure tally / putronics did not have anywhere close to the resources to do that.
I know about reliance bying tally because one of my clients was acquiring a company that (in 2001) was the only one who had access to TDL (Tally Defination Language) which was used to customise reports, voucher format, etc. And acquisition of tally by reliance, its effect on TDL and the rights to use it (no official license for TDL was given) was one of the contentious points in the acquisition negotiation.
If anyone from Tally is here on this group, or working in the office across Tally, or a neighbor or girlfriend/boyfriend/muse/"Good friend" of some Tally tech lead is reading this and can grab hold of one of their ever elusive support team members, can you please ask them to come out clearly and say what works and what not with Tally. Saying tally works on linux is not enough apparently. More information would be highly appreciated. System requirements, OS requirements, Arm n Leg requirements. Any more information other than BEST Bus hoardings saying that Tally works on Linux, is definitely warranted.
Ask RHL. They should be able to tell if they have certified it and made a press conference announcement regarding it.
