[GNC] GnC 3.5 for Disco

[Eric Coates]

Colin, Ronal

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

It's possible/probable that I used the wrong files. In my Download 
folder I had a directory gnucash_3.5 and a zipped file (which, to be 
honest I didn't notice until Colin's note prompted a careful looking) I 
never use the underscore convention (on files/directories I create - for 
reasons that are so petty it's embarrassing to share them) so I assumed 
that was the result of downloading Stephen's file and it is those files 
I used.

Idiot me person! A phrase popular in our family through my wife's use of it.

I've just unzipped the zip file and compared the resulting files with 
those in the gnucash_3.5 directory. The ones from the zip file all have 
a modified date of "yesterday", those from the gnucash_3.5 directory 
have a modified date of 16th April. As Stephen's note suggests that he 
has just created the "correct" files I'm going to assume that I should 
have used the files from the zipped file.

But I'm going to do that tomorrow - it's getting late and I have a 
(phone) date with my daughter now. I'll report back tomorrow.

Best wishes

Eric
