-\f0\fs28 \cf0 After a while, your ledger can get to be pretty large.  While this\
-will not slow down the ledger program much---it's designed to process\
-ledger files very quickly---things can start to feel ``messy''; and\
-it's a universal complaint that when finances feel messy, people avoid\
-them.\
-\
-Thus, archiving the data from previous years into their own files can\
-offer a sense of completion, and freedom from the past.  But how to\
-best accomplish this with the ledger program?  There are two commands\
-that make it very simple: @command\{print\}, and @command\{equity\}.\
-\
-Let's take an example file, with data ranging from year 2000 until\
-2004.  We want to archive years 2000 and 2001 to their own file,\
-leaving just 2003 and 2004 in the current file.  So, use\
-@command\{print\} to output all the earlier transactions to a file called\
-@file\{ledger-old.dat\}:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-ledger -f ledger.dat -b 2000 -e 2001 print > ledger-old.dat\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-To delete older data from the current ledger file, use @command\{print\}\
-again, this time specifying year 2002 as the starting date:\
-\
-@example\
-ledger -f ledger.dat -b 2002 print > x\
-mv x ledger.dat\
-@end example\
-\
-However, now the current file contains @emph\{only\} postings from\
-2002 onward, which will not yield accurate present-day balances,\
-because the net income from previous years is no longer being tallied.\
-To compensate for this, we must append an equity report for the old\
-ledger at the beginning of the new one:\
-\
-@example\
-ledger -f ledger-old.dat equity > equity.dat\
-cat equity.dat ledger.dat > x\
-mv x ledger.dat\
-rm equity.dat\
-@end example\
-\
-Now the balances reported from @file\{ledger.dat\} are identical to what\
-they were before the data was split.\
-\
-How often should you split your ledger?  You never need to, if you\
-don't want to.  Even eighty years of data will not slow down ledger\
-much---and that's just using present day hardware!  Or, you can keep\
-the previous and current year in one file, and each year before that\
-in its own file.  It's really up to you, and how you want to organize\
-your finances.  For those who also keep an accurate paper trail, it\
-might be useful to archive the older years to their own files, then\
-burn those files to a CD to keep with the paper records---along with\
-any electronic statements received during the year.  In the arena of\
-organization, just keep in mind this maxim: Do whatever keeps you\
-doing it.}
