[Kmymoney-devel] Feedback

[Peter Stark]

Thomas,

Thank you for your quick reply.  I installed KMM from the website, but 
there are no files I can see that end in ".cpp" or ".h".  I've attached 
the first screen that appears when I try to open the program if that 
gives you a guide where I'm at.

I am currently using Windows 8.1 (pity me) but I'm considering Ubuntu 
eventually.  Right now my problem is to get a new book keeping system 
going by the end of our financial year (30 June) - my current system 
(MYOB) can't be upgraded to Windows 8.1 and I'm running it on our old 
computer (running XP) which isn't connected to the internet so it's 
safe, but it's a pain running between 2 machines.

Also, I have installed KDE for Windows because that seemed to be the 
direction I was pointed to.

Any further help will be much appreciated.  Thank you.

Peter.
