I think my Quicken Deluxe 6 on Windows 3.11 is starting to get flakey so
I have been looking at two financial packages.  

GnuCash is more inline with QuickBooks and it looks like it would work
OK if you are interested in Double Entry/Accounts Receivable accounting
.

I decided that cbb (Check Book Balancer) look OK for what I need.  For
more information about Financial Packages check out this web page.
