Dear Hei Ku

Thank you for your very prompt and detailled response to my query.

I really did not expect any answer so soon, so I was pleasantly surprised.

 From your letter, I realise that I have a lot to learn about open
source & the open source community.

As it is about midnight here in eastern Australia, I will defer any
action until the morning.

Once again, thank you for your promptness and your clear explanations.

Regards,

Alan W/.

This is exactly because it wouldn't be nice from us to offer a development version to normal users.

Dear Hei Ku,

Your answer to my query was just what I needed. After a mishap with a
"database locked" message in Adept I installed KMM 0.9 without further
problems.

KMM 0.9 has a more 'finished' appearance than KMM 0.8 (although I can't
compare them on screen because 0.8 has been deleted).

It is too early to say how KMM will handle my book-keeping needs as I am
still setting up the categories etc. that I require. I prefer to produce
data in the categories required by the Australian Taxation Office.

I am willing to make a modest donation to KMM group if you could point
me to the instructions on the procedure.

I will 'follow the prompt' to mark my query solved.

I really appreciate your guidance, both for the update itself and also
on the workings of the KMM group.

Thanks once again,

regards,

Alan W/.
