   Cool!  Thanks, Phil.
   I'll get working on the GIFI extract.  I haven't quite figured out the
   fields that are needed.  If you have a field listing that would help me
   a lot.
   BTW, is there a format that makes it easiest to implement?  I thought
   pipe delimited text file??
   Cheers!

   If you can provide the list of GIFI codes, I can implement them.

   Hmmm.
   I thought this might just need someone to do the manual data entry to
   create/duplicate and then change an existing file to add these other
   tax
   codes.  :-(
   I haven't programming for 25+ years.  I don't think I'll be able to
   learn Guile and then C to make whatever changes anytime soon.
   If someone knows these and can help, I can create the files that
   outline
   the GIFI codes & descriptions.
   I'll continue to putter around looking at this in my spare time.  If
   there is someone out there who can do the Guile & C programming, I'm
   ready and willing to help.
   Thanks for the help and descriptions.

   helpful as well.
