We do this at a few sites, though I don't know to what extent exactly.
All I know is I set up some facetwin shares on the unix boxes and in some 
cases made scripts that accessed windows shares, and some cron jobs to run 
import/export reports and move csv files back and forth and wrote template 
fp code for importing and exporting csv files. Someone else here did the fp 
code for actually dealing with the data and I don't know the tiniest thing 
about mas90 itself so I don't know how the csv files are imported, exported, 
nor how the data is used on that end.

I can describe in more detail how to set up the shares so the winodws 
machine can get at the files, or vice-versa how to have the unix box get at 
files on the windows box, and how to import & export csv files with rreport 
and how to put it all into cron jobs and make it 
multi-user/multi-session/multi-qualifier safe etc... But I think what you 
mostly need is mas90 expertise.

The accountant who knows mas90 that worked on this with us at a few sites 
is:
John Veglia
jveglia at aol.com

Not knowing the first thing about either mas90 or accounting myself, I don't 
know if he's a guru or a hack, only that he's a nice guy, conscientious, and 
worked on this with us at a few sites and the customers seemed happy.
