WOa! Thats like saying "Isn't Windows the most used in the world, and
if so isn't it the standard?!?"

I shudder at the thought of all OS's following Winblows standards...

Back to accounting...

I use TurboCash and it suites my needs (Apart from having to boot up
my windblows box to use it). I'm sure a time will come when I will use
cubit and if offers me what I need, then I am willing to pay a small
fee for it...as long as it is less that pascal. ;)
