Writing a Sharp Zaurus PDA GnuCash Companion

[Colin Pinkney]

Thanks for the reply.

Ok, so I can probably just work out the format and I guess I can look at
the source code too.

Does the format change very much or is it fairly stable now?

I was just wanting to confirm that it is ok to use the same file format on
the PDA too.

Thanks again,

Colin

The documentation is relatively ad-hoc.  I don't know if
there is a schema/DTD.  We certainly don't use one during
the read/write operations (we build the XML by hand).
