Hi Justin,

> I was wondering if GNU acct accounting software is still maintained.

GNU Acct is still maintained, but I am currently working on the EU software
patents directive, so I sadly have very little time for programming.

A Tim Schmielau emailed me recently to ask if his patch supporting the new
format could be merged into the official release.  I hope to do this soon.

Here's the patches Tim Schmielau pointed me to:

If there's a different set of patches to do the same thing (make GNU Acct
work with the new format), please let me know.
