The dependency list for GnuCash is > already pretty long. What does OFX support buy? Joe, Sure, it could be made optional although I do not believe it would hurt anything by being there. What it buys is the ability to work with downloaded transaction records from banks and credit card companies. In the future, it will support investment records from brokerage houses. Of course, the respective institutions have to support the OFX (Open Financial Exchange). It is a new feature of gnucash with the 1.8.x series. -- Glenn Johnson glennpj@charter.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
