For my personal finances I use the tool I wrote http://sourceforge.net/projects/pim-tb to display and enter data according to some schema, and then use xsltproc and perl to do interesting things with the resulting XML. I didn't like how the U/Is of in particular GNUCash felt; and I felt stifled by their schemas: my tool works with any relational schema and lets me bop around and look at and manipulate small sets of data. It starts very fast, so I can whap it open and slap in some stuff, and get out. For instance I can download statements from the bank and use perl and xsltproc to massage them into a schema the tool can display. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
