Free business startup software for linux

Business Shell (BUSH) can be used as interactive command shell, scripting language with a source code debugger, a database client and a web template engine. With third-party support for the ABEE standard for Java Virtual Machine and .Net, BUSH is an all-in-one replacment for BASH, PHP, J2EE, Ruby, Python, PERL and PSQL.
There are many shells, interpreters and languages available. Virtually without exception, they are incompatible with one another. Whats the point of learning a tool that, no matter how sophisticated it is, leaves your source code stuck with that particular tool. You want to do scripting, so you use Python or Scheme.
You want to do reporting, so you use Perl. You want to write a script, so you use Bash. You want to write an applet, so you use Java. To be a programmer these days, you need to be fluent in a dozen different languages. You would be making more money if you got a job at the United Nations.
The Business Shell is different. Its based on a language called AdaScriptTM, a subset of one of the most powerful languages available for Linux today. Ada 95 is a GCC supported language so any project you write in Bush is immediately portable to any machine that GCC runs on. In other words, virtually everything.
And it means that Bush scripts can be compiled using GCC and everyone knows that GCC is superior to most commercial compilers. If thats not enough, using the JGNAT open source compiler, you can even compile your Bush scripts into actual Java bytecode. There is another tool, A#, that will compile scripts into .NET byte code Things dont get much more platform-independent than that.
But Bush does more than just create scripts, executable programs and Java applets. Its a powerful computer language on its own able to do complex math, manipulate files, generate reports and able to do network programming. Bush will let strings grow as big as you need without worry of a running out of buffer space. And a number of built-in packages will let you do everything from compute trig functions to connecting to a web server.
But best of all, Bush is easy. Perl claims to be easy. Easily like riding a bicycle backwards in the middle of a thunderstorm. Bush is easy to read, easy to understand. You know exactly what a script does without having to have a reference book beside you at all times
Bush doesnt run your programs outright. First it examines them, compresses them, and converts them into intermediate code. (Thats "byte code", to you Java developers.) Bush optimizes the program for the best possible performance. It also takes the time to verify your program will run before attempting to execute the first line.
And if you make to typing mistake, Bush will let you know before running your program. Theres no need to worry that your typo will be a valid command like it would be in most other languages. Bush works for you, not against you.
One tool for all solutions.

Kumula is designed to become a complete software suite for business needs. Started as software for consultants, it is flexible enough to be used by almost any class of business. Kumula Business Suite provides a small CRM (Clients) and a Mini-DMS (Documents), enhanced by some other applications. Everybody is invited to use it or enhance it.
Kumula is written in Qt (http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/), PyQt and Python using the fabulous Eric3 development environment.
Enhancements:
- This is the last stable release before Ill port it to Qt4 (as "Kumula2"), so I feel free to call it "1.0".
- The whole suite is becoming bigger and bigger, so now its time to split it. This is the base package with the central Kumula library and the most important applications. The package contains the following programs:
BizCalc:
- The modular designed calculator tool, coming with a spartanic RPN calculator and an unit conversion module
Clients:
- The client/customer management application, with many improvements (like individual client attributes) and the modules "Info" (logo+description), "Contacts" (for managing contact persones, addresses and communication data) and "Tickets" (for letting the users talk about a client like on a web forum)
Configurator:
- The central configuration utility, to setup the database access and the user interface (menus, icons, ...) of all Kumula applications.
Users:
- A small tool for managing the people using Kumula.
- Further application will be provided in separate packages for easier maintenance and faster bugfixes and updates.

Business::Associates is a library to handle the new XML interface for the Amazon.com Associates program.

This package replaces the Amazon Recommends (tm) links to provide a powerful and simple to use interface that allows you to embed complex, highly targeted ads on your web site (or other documents).

See also http://cybaea.com/Associates.html for more information and example screen shots.
Currently, only the Amazon.com Associates program is supported.

Business::Shipping::DataTools is a Perl module that can convert tables from original format into usable format.

SYNOPSIS

bin/update.pl

This is an optional module. It is used to update Business::Shipping::DataFiles. These tools convert the original source data obtained from shippers into a format that Business::Shipping can use. It is normally run only once per year when UPS releases new tables (which explains the poor quality of the source code).

It will unzip the data UPS data files and create .dat files. These .dat files are used by Business::Shipping, you can copy them to the data directory.
