QIF is a text-format file.  Bring up the QIF format in your favorite
editor.

QIF is fairly simple.  Just bring it into your editor and you'll see
what I mean.  You'll figure out the import parts in about 30 seconds
(namely, "^" is the end-of-record mark).

I have neither the time nor patience to weed through an 80k QIF file.
Spend the time and weed it down to one or two transactions that fail
and then I can look at it.  Looking through 80k might take me hours,
but GnuCash is a spare-time project which I work on when I'm not
consulting.  So, if you can work on figuring out which transactions
are problematic, then I can work on the gnucash importer.  Unless of
course you'd like to pay me my consulting rate to do that weeding work
for you? ;)
