[comp.sys.ibm.pc] small business software

i have a couple of friends that run small businesses and have 
recently acquired xt's.  they can't afford (or need) expensive
or complex accounting/inventory software.  they need the basics
and it needs to be pretty straight forward (it took me hours
to get them comfortable with turning on the machines without
the fear that they weren't going to accidently shoot off a
missle to god knows where by accident).  if anyone knows of
a shareware or very inexpensive package, please let me know.
by the way, one of them acquired an old version of daceasy (sp?)
that is terrible.  newer versions may be better but whatever
i find, i will probably have to buy it so that i can learn it
for them so i would like to keep cost at a minimum because i will
have no need for it afterward.

any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
