# Paypal CSV to QIF
# By James Stewart - james@ketlai.co.uk
#
# A really simple script attempting to get data from my paypal account (multi currency)
# into Xero. More adjustment will be needed to handle the multiple currencies, but I've
# not found good documentation of how to bake that into the QIF file yet.
#
# (I know paypal do qif output, but it seems to only send transactions from one currency)
