Down-to-earth problems with an ACT star

Article Abstract:

Pulsar accounting software from ACT of Great Britain is being marketed as seven packages available for various computers from Apricot, Sirius and IBM, and the computer program sells for 195 pounds sterling. The operations of Pulsar are described, keystroke by keystroke, and its capabilities with regard to maintaining purchasing, sales and nominal ledgers are praised.

Moreover, the reviewer believes the reports prepared by the system could be improved as far as their final presentation appearance.
