Thanks gang for the assistance.

I have not tried cygwin or mingw/msys.  I am glad I have been exposed to 
the docbook project, i just don't have time to learn cygwin, then 
docbook, then gnucash.

I appreciate the .zip file.

I will one day learn the docbook procedure (it doesn't seem to involved)

Thanks again.
