I don't know of any commercial ones for FreeBSD. I do know that both WINE and Willows are available for free, although I don't think Willows is ported to FreeBSD yet, and WINE is alpha. >Someone told me that some company (Caldera?) makes a commercial WABI for >Linux.

While it doesn't do everything that Quicken does, AFAIK, it does let you balance your checkbook, and I find it quite nice. There are other alternatives (xfinans, and others) as well. >If it matters, I run 2.2.2-RELEASE. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/
