Attractive easy-to-use home finance + utils

Introduction from the authors website:

Electronic Teller was first introduced in 1994. Over the years, it has undergone a number of changes and has seen as many improvements, thanks, in large part, to its users who have played an important role in its development and in making the program what it is today. In fact, version 3.10 was classified as a "must have" application by Christopher B. Wright in OS/2 e-Zine, and the program has come a long way since then.

Although Electronic Teller is not intended to replace some of the big-name financial applications available for other platforms and environments, it does promise to help manage personal day-to-day fiscal affairs on the OS/2 platform. For quick overview of what is available, be sure to review the list of features.

I encourage you to try Electronic Teller and to comment if you find it wanting in any way. As I mentioned above, feedback from users -- both good and bad -- have helped considerably in the development of the program and its various utilities, and I really heavily on these to enhance what is already in place.

DFSee 4.16 with native SCRIPTING released

New: Native SCRIPTING and several other fixes and improvements

Scripting executes multiple DFSee commands from a file, allowing things like automatic recovery and partitioning scenarios!

DFSee is the SWISS-ARMY-KNIFE for disk and filesystem problems. It has FDISK-like displays, cloning, analysis and recovery tools with powerfull FIX commands and UNDELETE for HPFS and NTFS.

Details can be found at: http://www.fsys.demon.nl/dfsee.htm

Version 4.16 With native scripting and several fixes:
-SCRIPTING, RUN native scripts with arguments (see DFSCRIPT.TXT)
-MsgBox moved to upper-right corner avoiding text cluttering
-Added say/sleep/autoshow to DFSMDOS; new 'REM' remark cmd
-Fixed a size-calculation bug in DiskGeo and other displays
-Replaced win/nowin commands by -w+ and -w- EXE-switches -Support HPFS386 deleted FNODE's; UNDELETE no OK on HPFS386
-Made ignore-lock default (-i switch); removed 'batch' cmd
-Allow comment on each DFSee command using the ';' character
-Scroll horizontal now with the Alt + <> or Alt + . / Alt + , keys in the output window and in the MsgBox text

Check DFS*.TXT files for details (New: DFSINTRO and DFSCRIPT)

Registering DFSee will give you the right to use all 4.xx versions and get support plus a reasonable amount of assistance by email.

But even more important, it enables further development of DFSee!
