The Batch out would be OK, but the Batch in requires that Emerald
actually
process the file (Ie, process payments). Otherwise, you would need
to program into CF how to process a payment (changing balances, updating
fields, updating invoices, etc). Its not a trivial thing, and I don't
know if I would be comfortable with another program doing it (support
concerns).

What kind of results or other interfaces can it do?
