Thanks to both of you. I suspect it'll probably be a week before I'll
have any working code, but rest assured I'll be working on it!
Two other things. Firstly, has there been any discussion on how best to
produce printed reports? There are a couple of different approaches
that come to mind:
1) Feed the generated HTML to a HTML/PS converter, and print the
postscript.
Pros:
* Easy to implement - there'd be virtually no code to write.
Cons:
* Probably poorest output quality and flexibility.
2) Modify the reports to provide an option to generate (La)TeX,
which we can then process.
Pros:
* More control over output
* High quality rendering
Cons:
* Considerably more work to implement
* Might be rather slow on very large reports
* Gives us yet another dependancy (and I doubt Corel Linux
and the other consumer distros that are about to be foisted
on us will have TeX on them)
3) Place text ourselves - maybe using gnome-print (which I admit
I know absolutely nothing about), or something else?
Pros:
* Absolute control over output
* Most flexibility
Cons:
* Lots of work!
* Probably overkill for our application
4) Suggestions?
Last, but not least, I'm getting the following warnings when I start up gnucash.

I'm using a current potato system (relevant package information
below).
Any suggestions? It'd help to
have your report code working before I work on any new stuff . .. .
