Thanks David.

I downloaded the 2.2.5 code.

I made literal changes to the integer_to_words function, substituting 
g_strdup_printf("%s dollars and %s cents",
                   int_string, nomin_string);

for

g_strdup_printf("%s and %s/%s",
                   int_string, nomin_string, denom_string);

After that, I got an error quite early on "make":

Entering src/pixmaps/
No rule to make "16x16/gnucash-icon.png" required by "all".

That sounds crazy, I know, but I have confirmed that "make" runs O.K. without 
it.

Doug.
