[moneydance] Ubuntu 7.10 and Moneydance

[Paul Clarke]

Hello,

Thank you for all the replies.

I do not know what happened but I just tried again and it worked.  
The only problem is that the MD window will not maximise.  When you try
it just has blank space around the smaller window.

Regards

Paul
