Finished.  You can download the new version from CVS:

http://interchange.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/interchange/extensions/quickbooks/etc/trans_quickbooks?rev=2.0.2.2&content-type=text/plain&only_with_tag=STABLE_4_8-branch

Here's the changelog:

  * Fixed: "INTL" showing up without country

  * Keep regular quickbooks invoice number progression (auto assign)
         - But add the IC order number to the "memo" field.

  * Quickbooks 2000 requires INVOICE instead of CASH SALE transaction type, 
even with "auto_create" users.

  * Remove Phone number & e-mail from bottom of "ship to" and "bill to" 
addresses.
         - So that Quickbooks users who print mailing labels can use the 
addresses as they are.
         - Still available in their standard location in Quickbooks.

Hasta Luego,
