Ok. I'm going to grab all the gnue stuff and install it on a Linux box
and play with it this weekend. I need some time for some "learning"
so I don't come out sounding like a complete idiot with any questions
I come up with, so don't expect me on irc for a while.


I'm also going to take the "Accounting Package" documentation
and  massage it so that it looks more like what I would like to see.
(Merging in from two accounting packages I maintain,
changes for things I don't like, things I want to add, etc.) 

This will give me something to work with/towards, if nothing else.

Some of what's in the original document I have never had to do,
and some of it is very incomplete, but I'll leave most of the fields I
myself don't need there. If nothing else, my version of this document
might be  useful for whoever follows. 

Hope that an OpenOffice document will be acceptable if I get
it into a reasonable shape.
