[GNC] Trying to use gnucash need to convert .qdf to /qif

[David Carlson]

If I recall correctly QDF format is a proprietary and encrypted format
owned by Intuit.  The only way to extarct the data is to use the Guicken
program to open the file and then export to QIF format.  Hang on to Quicken
until you have experimented with importing the QIF files into GnuCash to be
sure that you are getting satisfactory results.
