[GNC] Reconciliation {oops}

[David Cousens]

Patrick,
 
Another way to get the reconciliation date if you are using the xml
format data is to uncompress a copy of the data file , open it in a
text editor and search for reconciled string. It usually picks up the
slot the reconcile date is stored in in the account details. Not
necessarily the most practical.
