Subject: AccountsAuditor 1.1 (68K)

Here is Version 1.1 of AccountsAuditor.

I wrote AccountsAuditor as a general utility for maintaining the 
integrity of Quicken data files. It should also work with other money 
management programs that can export data in QIF format.  I developed 
the program to meet my own needs, and I'm offering it without charge 
to others who may find it useful.  I am not associated with Intuit, 
Inc., publishers of Quicken.  This program has not been reviewed or 
approved by Intuit, Inc.

The program works by comparing the current, working file with a saved 
file to make sure that there haven't been any spontaneous changes to 
the data.  I have experienced a number of spontaneous changes in my 
files, including some with Quicken 98 (the most recent version I've 
used).  I've also experienced changes once when performing a version 
upgrade.

AccountsAuditor was developed under System 7.5.5.  Recent revisions 
and my current use of the program are under System 8.6.  As far as I 
know, the program should run under System 7.0 through 9.x.  The 
program requires at least 8000K of free memory; a large file can 
require two or three times that amount.

Version 1.1 introduces two changes:

Dates are now interpreted in accordance with date format settings in 
the Date & Time Control Panel, instead of assuming the date format 
conventional in the US.  A consequence of this change is that dates 
with four-digit years are forced into the same range (1928 - 2027) as 
dates with two-digit years.

To accommodate newer versions of Quicken (including future versions), 
as well as other money management programs, lines in the export file 
may now be of unlimited length.  They previously were limited to the 
the maximum length exported by Quicken 98.
