Jack, reading in Quicken 10 help it does not say it can export a qif file in
a format that other money programs can read.  You can export reports that
can be read by spread sheet programs and even word processing programs but
not transactions.

The output of  file date.qif is :  ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators.
 So I tried opening with text ed again and it opened this time.  Just a long
document in one column.  Progress?
