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!
