Well, the Perl script that the KMyMoney guy had didn't work for me at all. 
Every account was spit into separate .qif files. Considerng the number of 
accounts, and sub-accounts I have, it's pretty useless.

The gnucashtoqif java utility showed promise. It converts everything into one 
big qif, which imports into MoneyDance OK. The problem comes in with Split 
transactions. I ended up with a bunch of duplicate transactions. So that 
won't work as it is. But it shows *some* promise. DOn't know if the problem 
is with MoneyDance's importer, or the gnucashtoqif converter.

I'll keep playing around. I may join the MoneyDance users list and ask some 
questions over there. 

Thanks again.
