ExpensePlus®
version 1.2 for Macintosh OS X
ExpensePlus version 1.2 is now optimized for Mac OS X versions 10.1, 10.2 (Jaguar), or 10.3 (Panther).
We only recommend that you use this new version of ExpensePlus with OS X. It will install and work on Mac OS 9 with Palm Desktop 4.0, but it is not optimized or recommended for any Mac version other than OS X. If you're using Mac OS 9, we recommend considering the older ExpensePlus version 1.0.9a instead of this newer version. If you're using Mac System 7 or 8, you must use ExpensePlus version 1.0.9a. This new Mac version 1.2 will not run on Mac OS version 7 or 8.
System requirements:
Mac OS 9 or OS X (versions 10.1, 10.2, or 10.3 or later)
Palm Desktop 4.0 or later
Excel 98 or later. Excel X highly recommended for OS X users (to avoid having to launch Classic mode)
