Update:
The tally dealer insisted that their 6.3 will work on linux and they had
CONFIRMED it from the Tally people itself. I asked how? They said some will
work.
I asked if there is a linux version of the installer, he said no, the same one
will. I said it's not possible. Remember I want to use it as a server and
client.
He insisted.
To humor him i said find, come and install. So the person comes to the office
with the package, loads the CD on a RH9 platform and tries to run the setup.exe
or install.exe file. Needless to say it did not work. But since I am no PHD in
anything linux and would like to give a benefit of doubt before writing off
somebody, was it possible that the person could have installed tally from the CD
that they supplied?
Remember even the package said the system requirements as Windows 98 n Above.
So it's 10th April already and I am without a viable alternative Account package
to Tata EX which is as Windows dependant as one can be.
