- ---------------------------------------------------------
- BS/1 Small Business is a suite of accounting programs

- internationally. Payments are processed through separate bank
- accounts and converted to domestic currency in the GL system.
-
- Invoices and checks may be handwritten or computer printed.
-
- User-defined financial statements can be created through
- a simple set-up process. GL account balances can be viewed
- on screen with drill-down to original source transactions.
-
- The Paradox file system provides good performance for at
- least 10 simultaneous users.
-
- The system design is optimized for simplicity and ease of
- use rather than tight security.
