IT Freedom

Most smart users were benefitting from some form of free* software on their computers by early 2009.

The site logo above is from the gNewSense website a free software Linux distribution based upon Debian, Ubuntu and Gnu. The GnewSense goal is ultimately to allow users to create their own Linux distributions using only free software.

On the futursoftinc.com website we recommend free software to young and old alike and proprietary software only when absolutely necessary. As a prime example of the absolutely necessary category we have a legacy software application package that is as relevant today as they were in the past. Thanks to the flexibility of free software we're able bring System T back to life and continue its development for today's users.

System T is a Canadian bilingual software package that was created first on a micro-computer based Unix look-a-like system in the early nineteen eighties. It was then converted to run on the IBM PC and continued to be used on single user PC's until 1999.

Since even today there are dentists and other professionals still using the One Write manual accounting system, System T represents a quantum-leap for these users and is also a great way of learning the fundamentals of computerized accounting in a way that is completely hidden today by the graphic interface of most computer systems. What's different with this system is that its exclusively a menu-driven text based system with full audit trails.

(Users of Internet Explorer may need to increase System T's menu text sizes by pressing "CTRL" and "+" keys pressed together to see them clearly)

When running under Unix twenty years ago it operate great with 6 work-stations and ran a complete multi-million dollar retail business on a 8/16 bit microprocessor clocked a thousand times slower than today's microprocessors. With today's microprocessors it's like having an accounting system on steroids.

For now there are  two main selections on our website. Click on one of the two menus above by placing the mouse over home for Linux information and over Linux+System T or clicking here to discover  how  System T does its job in English or in French.
