Oops, I didn't quite mean that as it sounded. GnuCash will interface with 
Pilot-QOF (because the CashUtil data still needs to be imported) - CashUtil 
will *also* be able to use Pilot-QOF data, should the user want to do things 
that way - e.g. Pilot-QOF is another CLI so CashUtil could be used in 
situations where it is impractical to load the GUI to merge Pilot-QOF data 
into an existing CashUtil book that is later imported as a whole.

For those PDA users who want to HotSync every day, loading the Pilot-QOF data 
into CashUtil may be preferable to loading GnuCash every time. In the medium 
term, CashUtil could make a viable conduit for KPilot etc., so that it really 
can be one HotSync to update the addressbook, calendar, tasks and finances 
but that's only an idea at this stage. Evolution has a conduit via Gpilot, 
Kontact via KPilot but AFAICT, none can process financial data from the Palm 
in the one HotSync.

If anyone is willing to join in and make this work, I'm open to offers!
(The CLI code should be much easier to learn than the much larger codebase of 
GnuCash).
