Peachtree

[dave at math.mit.edu (David Backeberg)]

Hola:

I've been providing informal, unpaid support for my mother-in-law, who is 
an accountant using Peachtree software on top of Windoze ExPee. I know 
very little about this, but wanted to ideally swap out the "backend" and 
let her keep Peachtree as a "frontend". My minimal exploration has 
suggested Gnucash only allows Quicken imports and doesn't import from 
Peachtree.

Ideally, from the perspective of me supporting her, she would use a "real" 
database like PostgreSQL or MySQL as the backend and she could keep on 
using Peachtree as a frontend. I would then be able to setup cron, 
mysqldump, bzip2, mkisofs, etc. to provide online, reliable backups and 
recovery.

Sorry for my ignorance on this topic. Anybody care to enlighten me about 
whether a conversion is possible?
