Having vaguely tried to write things into gnucash, it has the larger problem of having a big blob of code with no real documentation on how it works or what you might change in it. This seems to be a general problem with GNOME programs that I've looked at. (I've run into trouble trying to implement a GtkTreeModel in GNOME 2 where an object is being created other than through the specified interface, so my code breaks; haven't figured this one out yet.) Gnucash isn't particularly obtuse to me for being written in Scheme, it's obtuse because it's undocumented. :-) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
