Spell Out Misses $90

Problem

The 'spell out' part of the check misses amounts with $90 or $900. It just skips the 'ninety' or 'nine hundred' in the spellout.

Diagnosis

This is a bug in Goldenseal accounting software version 2.3 only. Fixed in 2.31.

We screwed up the code that fetches the names of numbers, when we changed it so it was easier to translate for other languages. Fortunately only a few people got this one.

Solution

They'll pretty much have to hand-write the extra text onto printed checks with a 9 in the tens or hundreds digit, until they get the new version. I guess it will affect about 11% of checks. Even if they send checks out with the wrong spellout, odds are pretty good that nobody will notice (though two users did notice this one).
