small invoice system

[Mike]

Just for kicks, I am checking out gnue at the moment.
cvs co is still humming away, and hopefully I'll
have something by tomarrow.

Thanks for all the input.

 This is painful, unless you want to use gnucash and fight it, I wouldnt go 
 this way.

 Linas is going in so many directions I wouldnt bank on it.  He was making 
 a good push and looking to pump things into gnucash, but I think those 
 interests have waned.

 Long term is you download the files and use.  For now you could download 
 GNUe (on debian this might take about 30 minutes to get working), soon it 
 will be even less are our debs are getting mroe functional.  They are in 
 unstable, but I would use cvs.
 
 Simply create a table that suits your fancy for invoicing.  Run the GNUe 
 Designer wizard and in a matter of minutes you ahve something.  Last night 
 I hacked up our interfaces for reporting output.  So our report engine 
 should export html and txt now.
 
 You might consider using DCL if you are doing consulting though my reports 
 focus has moved me away from adding somethings there that make it usable 
 out of the box.

 Certainly GNUe can use MySQL as a backend.  Though unless you are using 
 innodb of mysql its not a suitable db for business software and even with 
 innodb I would be cautious.  Its getting there though.

 Technically you can apt-get install gnue-forms gnue-designer etc, but I 
 would do cvs.
