QIF is "Quicken Interchange Format". It is not Quicken's native format.
But Quicken will export to that format. You'll have to poke around in
the menus to find out how to do this. I'm using Quicken 8 for DOS
(gasp!), but I'm sure that Q2000 has the same capability. GNUCash will
import this file once you create it.
