Fix for Linux PPC, IBM JDK, and Moneydance Bug

  • ~1 min read

Wow. You know... I've worked around this annoyance for FAR too long... I'd blogged previously (5 months + ago???) about a bug that affects Moneydance with IBM's JRE/JDK (you know... the ONLY one that you can find for Linux PowerPC!!) with online transaction downloading.
