Dealing with a large QIF file

[Cliff McDiarmid]

   Hi

   I'm importing a large QIF file(a current a/c)about 6000 entries.
   There are about a dozen other a/c's from Quicken, now closed,
   associated with this large file.   When importing, Gnucash seems to
   want to create these defunct a/c's to 'balance the books'.  I assume
   there isn't any way of avoiding this.   The whole thing looks like it
   will be horrendous.  I've imported some small credit card a/c's already
   with success, but they were not any of these other closed accounts.

   Any advice please.
   thanks

   Cliff
