Opens a wizard.  I chose a file and get this.

Line 5: File does not appear to be in QIF format: C*
Read aborted.

I used this some years back and I seem to remember other choices, but 
those don't show up.  I've poked around and don't see any other place to 
import the bank data from.  Chase offers other formats, but I don't see 
those in the menu.  I have tried to 'open' the file, but that doesn't 
work either.  Since it is a 'package' I don't know if some compile 
options were left out perhaps?  I could get the source and start over, 
but it isn't that big of deal for me to reconcile by hand.

thanks
