In it you said:
"Logically, $value = $price/share * #shares, and this should be precise
equality."
This is certainly true. And accuracy is a top consideration in a financial
program.

Inyour response of Mon, Aug 21, 2023 at 5:00 PM via GnuCash-user yousaid:

Hi Maf. King,
You get the gold star of the day, for the most humerus response. You deserve it.

some pictures of certain User Interface screens. It gives an idea of what is
useful for a payroll module.
This is a single-user, DOS program, written in an old language, not C++.
