[GNC] Accessing data on a windows share fro a link app

[Brad Morrison]

Hi Griffin/GNUCash users, 

What Linux distro & version are you running on your Linux laptop?
https://distrowatch.com/ 

Are the versions of GNUCash on the Windows 10 desktop & the laptop
running Linux the same? 

https://gnucash.org/download.phtml - the current version of GNUCash is
5.10 for all the operating systems listed
