I have narrowed this one, but I still do not understand what's going on.
The below test31.ledger and test32.ledger are different of only one line
$ diff test31.ledger test32.ledger
11c11
< Assets:Checking
---
> Assets:Checking -1000 F
What I can not understand is why ledger -V output of test32.ledger is in
FRF, even if I put directive "D 1000,00 EUR".
Is there a way to force the output in EUR, my currency ?
Thanks
Thierry
