[GNC] check printing

[David Carlson]

Years ago (before electronic payments and deposits) I recall that it was
possible to program GnuCash to print the MITRE line, as it used to be
called, but you needed to use special magnetic ink so that check readers
could read them reliably.  I imagine that it is still possible, but hardly
necessary in the United States, anyway.  I think that you used to get the
supplies from a company called Checksoft.  Back then banks weren't very
cooperative because mistakes could wreak havoc in the clearing houses, and
today they would be even less cooperative due to increased fraud concerns.
If you are really an alum of Southwest Bell, you are probably a U. S.
citizen and probably already using electronic deposits and payments, so I
suspect that your interest may be mostly academic to show your
grandchildren.
