I brought this topic up at a UU meeting recently.  We now have a
more specific idea of our needs.  If you have any information on
a software package we should be looking at, please call me or
send me e-mail.

Our basic requirement is for a General Ledger system that is
suitable for a Canadian multi-national corporate head office.
The system should support some kind of Accounts Payable and
(maybe) Fixed Asset tracking.

The system should run on a microcomputer-to-supermicrocomputer
class machine.  Preferably, the software should be independent
of a particular brand of hardware.

Other features we would like to have:

	- multiple general ledgers
	- multiple currencies
	- lots of room for journal descriptions
	- flexible account numbering scheme
	- ability to handle B-I-G numbers (at least 10's of billions)
	- report writing capabilities
	- export to other software
	- support four users
	- online query
	- source code

Any pointers to consultants, system people, software houses or
satisfied customers are welcome.  Thank you for your help!
