Hello,
As a gnucash newbie I just tested the gnucash 1.4.1 release.
It seems to be a very useful program and I am delighted by the elegant
appearance. Well done. (Installation under SuSE 6.4 still requires some
twiddling and compiling the sources. But once having found the correct readme,
installation was smooth.)
I have one problem to use it. I have used several MacIntosh programs for my
(small) accounting needs. In Switzerland Quicken is not very popular. So none
of the programs seen til now do allow import or export of quicken data.
On the other side all programs have import/export facitilites that work on
simple tab delimited text files. Usually one to import the account names and
another one to import the transfers.
E.g.
Acoounts like:
1000 Kasse Gyong-Sug 0.00 108.90
#account-nr text budget initial-value
Transfers like this.
31.12.99 GKB an PC 1 1010 1020 500.00
#date text transfer-nr debit credit amount
Of course, there is no problem if one would need less or more columns or a
different order of the commetn.
As I would really like to be able to import old data. I would appreciate any
hints how I have to modifiy the guile/scheme-programs to be able to do this
import. (I have programmed using a dozen or so different languages, but
scheme/guile is new to me. So any hints on tutorials on scheme/guile would also
be welcomed).
Thank you in advance.
Regards
