[GNC] Merge gnucash files

[Joseph Hesse]

David,

Thank you for your reply.  I hope I am replying in the correct way for 
this mailing list.

As regards your answer, if my wife enters her transactions over a period 
of time, say a month, then
I would have to concatenate all the log files for this period (omitting 
header info) before importing
them.  What's your though on this?

Joe
