notes: label: Description
content: Tallymaster was software for the TRS-80 Model I and III written by Chuck Tesler for Prosoft, Inc. of North Hollywood, California. The binder includes advertisements for other Prosoft products, product catalogs, a user manual, a 5.25" software disk, and an invoice from JMG Software International to Jon Eklund (curator at the National Museum of American History from 1967-1999). Tallymaster was a financial analysis and management tool designed for small businesses and personal use. It performed the functions of a general ledger except that Tallymaster was interactive - the results from arithmetic operations were updated immediately on the screen. Data could be sorted, graphed, printed, and saved. Dr. Eklund purchased this software in June of 1984 for $55.00 (approximately $136 in 2019 dollars).
