Can't believe I'm re-visiting this again, lol. Goes to show what happens
when you find extra time for a change (I haven't experienced this phenomenon
for many years) (triple sigh).  I'm currently running Windows 10, GnuCash
Version: 3.8, Build ID: 3.8b+(2019-12-29), Finance::Quote: 1.49.  Everything
works fine except aqbanking and yes, I do understand that the latest version
is not compatible with Gnucash 3, etc.  I get that...  *I'm taking from your
prior posts that one can get aqbanking to work w GnuCash 3.8 if one installs
an older version of Aqbanking.*  From your last post, I believe you indicate
that's either 5.82 or 5.78.

Ok, so per your earlier post, I was pulling what's left of my hair searching
hopelessly for Aqbanking 5.20, and then just noticed by accident that you
had made a further reply to the thread, correcting your prior post,
indicating that I should (???) be looking for either Aqbanking 5.8.2 or
5.7.8, not 5.20. So:

1. First I did a search on my laptop, and found references to prior versions
of Aqbanking, including 5.7 and 5.8 (see the attachment to this message
post). Am I correct that my recent install of 3.8 does not include the
necessary aqbanking files to install prior versions of it?  If I'm wrong,
how do I install those older versions from what's on my laptop; and if I'm
right, then I assume I need to download one of the older versions (see #2,
below).

2. Ok, so then I did a google search, and found a reference to aqbanking
5.8.2-1 at the following link: 
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/aqbanking/
<https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/aqbanking/>  .  From
the mirror site referenced at that site, it looks like I'd be downloading:
*aqbanking-5.8.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar*.  I assume once I extract the files I'll
find an install file to install the older version of aqbanking, and
thereafter the clouds will part, the birds will chirp, and I can stop
manually updating my accounts.  For now, I'll sit on my hands.

When you have a free moment, if you could tell me if I'm on the right path
or not, would be great, but in any event, enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!!
/(and thanks for all the help you've provided before in this forum, over the
years on so many subjects relating to GnuCash)/.
