Hi Ian

I couldn't agree more ;)  We are consigned to using Sage (Aaarrgh!)
because it is what our accountants use but I would love to use something
else.  When I get time I mean to have a look at GnuCash and see whether
it could output in an acceptable format.  But as my partner (on XP) does
the accounts, I fear it may be a while before I get around to it ;)

Clive
