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

Before you intend to go further, you really have to read Bill Lange's incredible article about The Atari Accountant series. If you do not, you won't understand anything of The Atari Accountant, not even a single bit! Please take the time, you won't be disappointed. Bill has done a deep, deep investigation, which only a few Atari users are able to. 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 so much Bill for bringing light into some of Atari's deep black projects. We really need your help, not only for this software alone.
