Does anyone know of an accounting package - free or commercial - that will let us charge out computer usage? I'm aware of the accounting stuff that comes with System V, but I'm hoping for something a little more turnkey. Thanks in advance. -- Tom Bertelson "Wish I didn't know now what I Tom.Bertelson@Dayton.NCR.COM didn't know then." ...!ncr-sd!ncrlnk!tbertels B. Seger

The two packages together cost $21,800 list for a VAX8600 running Ultrix. The price is based on machine size. They also have a 30% educational discount. Job Accounting tracks usage and prepares usage charges. Job Scheduler allows you to control the load on a machine. For instance, you can put a limit of only six cc's running at once, when the seven one tries to run it gets put on hold until one of the other ones finishes. To me from the glossies and talking with the company, they looked like good packages. I have not bought them because the price seems a bit steep for what we would use them for.
