Gnucash file is getting long!

[Colin Law]

What do you mean by 'quite large'? I have 15 years of (personal) data
in mine and would not split it unless force to. It is great to be able
to so easily look back to see when and where I bought the dishwasher
(or whatever) and how much it cost. Mine is1.9 MBytes (compressed
