We use CUFS, too.  Although I am not a money/math person by
any stretch, the system appears to be a pooch-- very
inflexible and limited in it's ability to report, adapt to
special calendars, etc.  Our accounting gnomes are accustomed
to it and seem to not have strong opinions.  Those of us who
need access to CUFS occasionally really hate it.

We are supposed to get the "grants" module (a new version)
this year.  I'm not looking forward to the transition.

CUFS still has that mainframe mentality-- to get it to do
something it takes LOTS of effort, which justifies jobs in
MIS, I guess.

I shadow most of my budgets on Paradox (we're fairly small).
Beats waiting on CUFS.
