Acknowledgements
The OFT is much indebted to those in the Local Authority Trading Standards Services who helped with testing the program on first release and to those enquirers who have subsequently raised issues resulting in improvements to the program.
I am grateful for the assistance of my colleagues in OFT who helped with the development of this program. I am also very grateful to Richard Russell, first for providing the BBC BASIC for Windows language in which the program is written, and for his patience (and that of others on the BB4W Yahoo Group) in dealing with any questions I had.
