Sorry to take so long to respond... I wanted to at least look at the
business ledger before responding.  Then RealLife interposed...

Anyway, I don't think I use the business ledger (you mean something
other than the AR/AP ledger, I'm sure, right?) so, no, I haven't
considered it yet.  I was trying to investigate today but I can't get
g2 to run.  If I try to create a new COA, it crashes at the end of
some "merge" druid.  If I try to open an existing file, it crashes
then.  I'll wait a bit for CVS to settle down before trying again.

Until then, I've got some bugs in my stand-alone app to track.  And
then I could always read the business ledger code...  I'll get back to
you on this.
