Making cents

The June general meeting of the Phoenix OS/2 Society will feature Bryan 
Minor, president of Mt Baker Software, previewing their imminent product, 
Money Tree. Money Tree is an accounting program for both personal use and for 
small businesses.

Money Tree Product Features

The program isn't available yet, but it is about to go into beta testing as 
this article is written. Mt Baker Software has been whetting the appetite of 
OS/2 users for quite a while, promising many features that users want. Among 
them are support for tracking checking accounts, savings accounts, cash, 
credit cards, loans, fixed assets, insurance policies, money market accounts, 
CDs, bonds, mutual funds, and stocks.

The company also promises that Money Tree will be a true OS/2 application, 
with:
 Intelligent use of multithreading
 Full drag and drop support
 Real integration with the Workplace Shell
 A true OOUI (Object Oriented User Interface) application

Analysis features are promised to be highly flexible, graphically oriented 
(supporting line graphs, bar graphs, and pie charts), providing a clear 
picture of your financial status.

Money Tree will have a complete budgeting package, a full set of customizable 
reports, CheckFree for electronic check payments, international support, 
user-definable Date and Currency symbol notation, and automatic currency 
conversion. Personal and business check printing will be supported, as well 
as import and export of Quicken QIF data files. Also, a number of financial 
"What If?' modules are provided for giving insights into investment planning.

Money Tree is an object-oriented application that takes full advantage of the 
Workplace Shell (WPS). Its performance is greatly enhanced by making proper 
use of OS/2's multi-tasking and multi-threading abilities. At every 
opportunity, Money Tree takes full advantage of OS/2's strengths.

Money Tree is being developed by Mt. Baker Software, Inc. An OS/2 development 
company based in Mt. Vernon, Washington, Mt. Baker Software was started in 
January 1995, incorporated in April 1995, with the vision of creating high 
quality, easy to use OS/2 applications. Dr. Bryan Minor is president, and 
heads the development team. He received his Ph.D. in Computational Physics in 
December 1993 from AFIT, in Dayton, OH. In February 1996 he completed his Air 
Force commitment and returned to Mt. Vernon to work full time on Money Tree.

Mt. Baker Software, Inc. is family owned. Dr. Minor's father, Michael is the 
treasurer; his wife Christine is vice president and in charge of customer 
service.

C'mon and see!

That's a lot to promise in a company's first release. Certainly, you'll want 
to show up to determine how well Mt. Baker Software can deliver. Join us for 
the meeting in our usual time and location: 7 pm on Tuesday, June 11, at the 
Mountain Preserve Reception Center, 1431 East Dunlap. The general 
question-and-answer session begins at 6:30.
