[net.micro] Accounting software interface

SHOLAR@cmu-cs-c.arpa (04/07/83)

I'm seeking accounting programs (accts receivable, especially) that
are sufficiently straightforward and well documented that another
program can produce input transactions for the accounting programs.

So far, it looks like my specialized applications must either reinvent
accounts receivable, or must print the data on paper for a person to
type right back into the accounting program, since the A/R programs
I've looked at so far make it all but impossible to enter data except
through the keyboard.  Transferring data from one file to another via
a printer, a human, and a keyboard seems like such a waste . . . 

Pointers to useful and flexible A/R programs would be appreciated;
CP/M, MSDOS preferred, Pascal or BASIC preferred, but as they say,
any port in a storm . . .
