I forgot about that option.
For completeness, what you are describing is to start with the new
version on a new computer with a fresh file, then just use your ending
figures from the 2.6.15 file as 'opening balances' in the new file, correct?
Note, you can start entirely fresh, or if you like, you can export just
the Chart of Accounts from 2.6.15, import it to 5.3, and then manipulate
it from there.
The upgrade path isn't as terrible as it sounds, and it would allow you
to preserve in-app access to historical data. But by all means, chart
your own course. You have lots of options.

I think I will install the latest version and try the 'use accumulated
totals' report with a test file. If it works then make the jump. I have an
old laptop that is running 2.6.15 if I have to access the old files.
Rebuilding the Chart of Accounts seems easier than the upgrade process.
