Hi gang, A while ago there were some inquiries about a Linux program to keep track of a checkbook, and Charlie offered up the source code for his popular program if anyone wanted to port it to the Linux environment. I am not sure if anyone ever did that, but I have recently ported an earlier program of my own to Linux, and have posted it on my web site if anyone wants to give it a whirl. Actually it is more than a port, it is a serious upgrade. It does not print checks or pay bills electronically, but is a convenient record keeper. It helps you balance an account and is handy for browsing old transactions. I have ported about six or seven years of personal records from earlier programs of my own into the new format and am willing to trust it to handle that stuff safely and accurately. It is called "chex" and the sources and documentation are available at: http://www.mhonline.net/~chuckh/chex-0.1.0.tar.gz It compiles and runs on my Slackware 8.1 system which uses GCC 2.95.3, but I have no idea if it will work on other systems. It is written in C and has an extremely dumb interface. It would probably work fine on a teletype terminal, it's that dumb. But if it's interface you want, you had better not mess with it.
