I agree, a good opensource accounts package is needed What's the name of the book? Has anyone evaluated adapting the many available on SF?

If you need help (my domain knowledge : Accounting, Costing and Business Consulting), please call me on 9819384313. Also have a look at web-erp. It is a good package, though some changes are needed. >I wonder why Indian magazine like Linux For you have not published article >on such a promising piece of software.

The basics of the logic and pattern has not changed, if we need to build a fresh one, we can use that book as a basis and proceed. It was the only comprehensive book on how to write an accounting software. I had suggested something along the same line 2 years ago, many nodded their heads and then noone moved with it.
