The Atari Accountant series (Software by BPI Systems, Inc./Atari (?), Documentation by Arthur Young & Co.)#

According to Bill Lange, the software was originally from 'BPI Systems, Inc.' for the Apple II. Atari either paid BPI Systems, Inc. to port the software to the Atari or Atari bought the rights to the software and ported it to the Atari themselves.

Thank you so much Bill for bringing light into some Atari's deep black projects. We really need your help, not only for this software alone.

Further, please read the incredible article by Bill Lange. That is scientific investigation and deep knowledge at its best. AtariWiki highly(!) recommend this site. The site is vital for a deeper understanding of the boxes Atari made. You would miss a big part of Atari's history by not reading it! Bill, AtariWiki says soooo much thank you for your help in this lost be believe case. Thank you!
