Transact by Dialog Software has been advertised in its CP/M disc format in the £30 price range and appears to be quita a respected release so it was somewhat of a surprise to see the tape version out in a simple Amsoft cassette case with a cartoon on the front rather than a prestigious ring binder. The program is an accounts/book keeping package with heavy emphasis on VAT financial credits and debts, cash flow etc. It does not appear to cover stock control, fixed assets or the like. Unfortunately one irritating disadvantage of the packing is that the instructions have been squeezed into the tiniest booklet you can imagine, you don't have to worry about missing the small print there isn't anything else there. The style of writing is also turgid and difficult to follow. Although I have experience of accounting I found that the two factors had my head spinning. Once in use however, if you had any data ready to enter, it became apparent that the extensive use of menus and prompts made it a lot more user friendly than it first appeared. You can keep track of account balances, profit and loss, sales and purchases, banking, cash and input and output Vat. I think that Amsoft have probably identified a real market of very small business that have simple requirements and little money for hard and software and this program may suit them very well.

CPCrulez[Content Management System] v8.7-desktop Page créée en 948 millisecondes et consultée 1867 foisL'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
