       The General Accounting System by BPI Systems, Inc. is a
complete accounting system for a small business or a professional
person.  All bookkeeping entries are made into customized journals
that eliminate much of the normal key entry effort. It combines the
capabilities normally found in general ledger packages (i.e.,
balance sheet and income statements) with the capability to
generate accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll
registers, as well as the ability to print checks. The cash sales
journal has been designed for companies with cash registers to
speed up the entry of daily cash sales. The system allows the
operator to execute multiple requests for reports with a single
entry. By automatically completing each task in sequence, the
program eliminates many potential operator errors.
