qif files

[David Reiser]

If you open the reputed qif file in a text editor, what is the first  
line?

Hard to believe that Quicken itself doesn't create a standard qif,  
but anyway, when I've had trouble with qif imports it was because the  
creating program left off the first line. I think gnucash is  
expecting something like:

!Type:Bank

as its first line. (Maybe CCard or other account type instead of Bank.)
