The files mentioned contain the source code which is used for all operating systems KMyMoney runs under. That is why stopping you is a good idea at this point. You would need some developer foo and tools (compilers, linkers, etc.) to continue in order to convert the source code to a working program. This is not an easy task on Windows as far as I have heard (not having a MS-Windows affinity myself I can't really tell). -- Regards Thomas Baumgart GPG-FP: E55E D592 F45F 116B 8429 4F99 9C59 DB40 B75D D3BA ------------------------------------------------------------- An optimist laughs to forget.
