GSP makes money matters so simple

Publisher GSP has leaped into the personal finance market with Money Matters and reckons it has identified a niche for the title untapped by Intuit's Quicken or Microsoft's Money.

GSP's potential customers are retired couples, students, and families who want a simple program which covers all aspects of personal finance.

Money Matters costs #19.95 and is available on CD-ROM and floppy disk. It can handle 40 accounts with unlimited entries for each; it shows bank, building society and credit card balances; and produces budgets, charts and reports from the transactions appearing in all or one of the accounts.

Personal Finance Magazine has arranged free subscription to all buyers of the software.

GSP has also added four CD-ROM multimedia titles to its range. These include the celebrity endorsed duo: Geoff Hamilton's Garden Designer; and David Bellamy's Discovering Endangered Wildlife; as well as the Collins Dictionary of Quotations and the British Multimedia Encyclopaedia.

All four products are priced at #19.95 and are being launched with individual display stands. Sales director Steve Powell said:
