accjournal.el

accjournal.el is a minimal double-entry accounting system for Emacs. Transactions are recorded in a text file journal and Emacs code calculates and displays a report of accounts and balances from it (no external programs required).

30 Apr 13  400.00    12/13 salary   -> Bank
30 Apr 13   20.00    12/13 interest -> Bank
 1 May 13   60.00    Bank           -> zPersonal | ATM withdrawal

See the commentary in accjournal.el for brief notes, and the accjournal-mode docstring for a long description. The .tar.gz source includes sample journal files. Just the .el is enough to run.
