General Ledger

       The General Ledger system provides the user with the ability to
       maintain and report quantitative information about the financial
       status and activities of one or more companies.  This information
       is intended to provide accurate, time sensitive data useful in
       making current economic decisions as well as plans for the
       future.

       Many of the tedious bookkeeping procedures required to maintain
       an accounting system have been replaced with interactive data
       entry programs which produce timely and accurate output in easy
       to read formats.  Every effort has been made to provide
       sufficient audit trails and assist company personnel in
       maintaining the highest quality financial records possible.

       Master files are maintained for the chart of accounts, standard
       journal entries, financial statement formats, fiscal year dates,
       and company names.  The chart of accounts file carries both prior
       year and budget figures for up to thirteen periods.  The standard
       journal file is optional and is intended to reduce redundant
       entry of recurring transactions.  The unique flexibility of the
       financial statement format file allows for user defined financial
       statement formats as well as the creation of other similar
       reports.  The fiscal year dates file provides the ability to
       specify the beginning and ending dates for each period which in
       turn make up the fiscal year.  The company file maintains company
       names and addresses for each company code.

       The standard accounting reports are provided, as well as variance
       reports based on budget and prior year amounts, and other reports
       created by the financial statement format file.  Pro forma
       statements are available in any format established on the
       financial statement format file.  All of the reports, except for
       any edit lists and registers, are available in either hard copy
       or CRT form.

       System management functions are provided for determining decimal
       alignment, compressing the year to date file, updating budget
       amounts, and doing end of year maintenance.
