- Could anyone suggest a source of inexpensive MSDOS business software?
-
- (I've looked through the SIMTEL20 archives, for example, and found no
- business shareware whatsoever.)
-
- The main thing we're looking for is an order-handling program for a small
- mail-order plant nursery business. (Should keep track of orders, print
- packing lists, invoices, etc.)
-
- Of secondary interest would be programs for things like payroll, inventory
- control, and perhaps general accounting.
-
- The price target is: well below $1000 (below $500?). Except for a $100
- product which we can't locate, software packages that do what we want sell
- for on the order of $10,000, believe it or not. Way, way above what this
- business can afford...
-
- Any suggestions would be appreciated.
