PLCash - Java financial app available
I've yet to see this mentioned in OS/2 newsgroups. It's a financial app,
intended to replace Quicken, and written in Java by the author of the
Arachnophilia HTML editor, Paul Lutus.
http://www.arachnoid.com/PLCash/
I've downloaded and installed it and imported my Quicken 98 data. It looks
good so far. It's freeware (actually "CareWare") and requires Java 1.4 or
higher.
Mr. Lutus has a few other Java apps available as well.
