I see that one can convert their HS lists to XML and then import to 
AndShoBBer. What, if any, data loss is there after the import process?
I look forward to trying this out myself when I have some more time this 
weekend.
Until then, you can look forward to many questions about your software 
and help using it via this forum.
This one is on the edge of HandyShopper compatability, since although it 
does require export/import like other apps, rather than being able to 
open HS databases outright, the process does seem at least a bit more 
direct, and /hopefully/ lossless. As such, I won't be all "on topic 
nazi" when it comes to this app.
Let's see where this takes us. :)
