Welcome to Quasar Accounting!

Installation and Setup
======================

To get Quasar installed and setup properly, please refer to the PDF
document available online at our web page (http://www.linuxcanada.com).
It will help you through the initial stages of Quasar use and provides
trouble-shooting tips if something isn't working.  When done you should
be able to create a company.


First Company
=============

Once you have Quasar installed and setup, you can create a company
and start setting it up.  Please refer to the User's Guide also
available online.  It will help you through setting up your company
and also give pointers on the use of various aspects of Quasar.


Reference
=========

Finally if there is a field on a screen or something you don't fully
understand, please download and use our reference manual.  It covers
every screen in Quasar and explains the use of each field on the
screen.


Mailing Lists
=============

Linux Canada Inc. has setup mailing lists for different types of
problems or questions.  You can subscribe to the lists from our web
server and once you have been subscribed (remember to reply to the
email that is sent to you to verify you actually want to subscribe!),
you can post messages.  The mailing list is monitored by the staff
of Linux Canada Inc. and by other users and we attempt to respond
to problems quickly that are posted there but for more timely support
you will need to purchase a support contract.


Support
=======

Support contracts are available for any level of support you want
from simple email during business hours to direct access to developers
on Quasar.  Please check out the support options on our web page.


License
=======

Quasar Accounting 2.0 is no longer open source due to abuses of that
license but we do still make the source code available on request and
do provide a free base package which has similar features to the open
source version of 1.4.  For more information on how Quasar Accounting
is licensed, please visit our web pages.
