New specification for Canadian cheques

[Paul Bak]

Effective September 2nd 2008, all Canadian cheques must conform to new, standardised specifications as outlined at
 http://www.cdnpay.ca/news/new_cheque_specs.asp .

Any ideas when new format will be available?
In February 2007 it was some discussion about it between Giles and David Hampton but nothing after.

I really don't want to buy QuickBooks 2008.
