Unfortunately the PR press team is > unavailable at the moment I've been told. This is really a question that should be asked on gnucash-user. But I'll answer it here because I'm in a good mood this morning. > 1. Can you import data from other programs/spreadsheets? Yes. QIF, OFX, MT940, DTAUS, and whatever else AqBanking supports. > 2. Are you able to download your bank statements? Maybe, it depends on what formats/protocols your bank supports. GnuCash does support HBCI and OFX-DC, if you know your bank's OFX contact information. > 3. Is it both MAC and PC compatible? GnuCash works on many platforms, including Linux, *BSD, Solaris, Mac, and Windows. Note that Windows came late to the game; GnuCash started as a Linux application, and most of the development is still done on Linux. > 4. Does it have password protection? No. See http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_.22Can_you_please_add_a_password_feature.3F.22 > 5. Can you track investments? Of course! > 6. Are there direct links with UK banks - ie can you carry out > transactions? UK? No. Only HBCI supports transaction initialization, and only Germany supports HBCI. So GnuCash can only initiate transactions to German banks at this time. > Many thanks for your time, > > Rob. > > > > > > > > ROB GRIFFIN > > Office: 01424 842271 > > Mob: 07711 324512 > > www.robgriffin.co.uk <http://www.robgriffin.co.uk/> -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH [email protected] PGP key available _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
