Digging up old threads..
I am actually after exactly the same as requested here. Although I would be satisfied with just the general ledger.

I am after the "Book" either in hard copy of a decent scan.
If someone has it, I really only want to borrow it (to scan).

I know I have it somewhere, but haven't seen it in my collection for at least 30 years.

If it's what I'm thinking of, that software was commercialized as the
"Vandata" accounting system. We used it for small-business bookkeeping in the
early 80s.

At one point I had several ring binders of documentation for it, but I haven't
seen them in years. Maybe in a box in my garage loft, but won't be able to
dig into that for a bit.
