It seems that there is no easy way. Gnucash does not support direct
import of IIF. IIF is allegedly able to be opened with a spreadsheet
program and saved to CSV or XLS. The CSV or XLS file can in turn be
converted to QIF. The QIF can be imported to GnuCash. However, there is
apparently no way to import your customer/vendor 
database or Invoice/Bill lists.

There seems to be even less information for converting back to
Quickbooks or quicken.
