Ok, I didn't know that I wasn't supposed to do it, but it got me past that
sticking point. Is it feasable to convert gnucash to use strcpy instead
of
stpcpy? Seems like you could do it. :-)

I just found out what these are. I was looking at slibcat, for scheme,
and
noticed entries for both these *files*. So I guess touch is good enough
for both of these.

Now I can really bug you! <g>. Ok, Transfering funds between accounts
causes a core dump, but this could be because of my hacks and not your
code. Haven't tried much, creating accounts, reconcile, adding entries,
just the basics, but seems pretty solid. The Help pages seem to need a
lot
of work, as I can only view the "about" page.
Now I have the whole thing packaged up for Solaris. This is equivalent to
a .rpm for Linux. What I would like to do is find a site to stick the
file on,
and then link to it from my web page. This may get some real Solaris
developers involved, or at least give some people hope that they may be
able
to get off of Windows for Checking/Credit Card/etc needs. Anyone
want to volunteer about 12 MB's of disk space?
thanks
