Electronic Teller is a native OS/2 - eCS personal finance program with an elegant, modern user interface. It handles bank, credit card, cash, asset, liability, and investment accounts, which are grouped within portfolios. WPS integration includes drag-and-drop and object launching.
ET is VERY well thought out, extremely fast, configurable, and very stable. It is remarkably intuitive for a financial program, although it offers extensive help, and documentation. ET has "Advanced balance forecasting". Why wait to be depressed about future debt and poverty, when you can forecast it NOW. Reporting capabilities are extensive. It also utilizes Blowfish encryption, for the age of identity theft. And yes, it does have a QIF Converter, so importing/exporting data is possible.
International language support includes US and UK English, Dutch, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish.
