I recently downloaded GnuCash gnucash-1.3.7-1 and tried to load
some QIF files I generated from Quicken 99 on my Windows box.
This box is a VA Linux Systems StartX-MP with dual processors,
but that probably does not matter.
I first made a floppy disk by exporting my entire Quicken
database. I then tried reading it into GnuCash. Everything seemed
OK, but in fact, as far as I can tell, nothing happened. The
floppy light did not stay on anywhere near as long as it did to
write it.
I then made floppies of several items: my checking, cash, and my
American Express card account. As far as I can tell, the checking
account and the cash accounts seem OK, but the American Express
account is a disaster. Here are two offending lines that show the
problem (each payment, which was a check from the checking
account paid to the American Express account is credited twice,
giving me an erroneously high estimate of cash in the account).
5/19/2000 1454 AMERICAN EXPRESS TRS Checking n 743.43
20,528.62
5/19/2000 AMERICAN EXPRESS TRS Checking c 743.43
21,272.05
Is this a known bug? Or is there something I do not understand?
In any case, there is no way my balance could be in such an
enormously overpaid state.
