May 96 Superior Shareware

Compiled by Tom Ponzo and Paul Silverman

This shareware (and more, and in some cases, more recent versions) is available online.

Ledger 4.0

And that's just what it is--a ledger. The program keeps track of total income, expense totals and net totals on expenses or loans. Ledgers can be combined to create quarterly, mid-year and annual reports. A built-in calculator includes functions you won't find on the standard Windows calculator.

The program launches a separate window for video playback when you click on and download any MPEG, MPEG I, .AVI or .MOV file. An upgrade for real-time audio and video playback is planned.
