- Notice.
-
- The Charging program of My Little Realm makes use of the same file
- called TAXCODES.QKY that MLR's Checking uses. They have been set up
- this way intentionally so you would not have to duplicate your
- efforts creating the same Tax codes for both routines. (If you are
- planning to purchase the entire system, as a matter of fact, you
- will find that these two programs automatically share this file.)
- If, however, you want to utilize a different set of Tax codes for
- each, put the Charging/sa and Checking/sa programs in separate
- directories.
