Sales Tax Calculator 
V 2.00

DISCRIPITION:
I wrote this program for others, like me, who like to browse catalogs and 
such, figuring out different prices and totals before they go shopping.  
This program will help you calculate the cost of any number if items, and 
add the tax automatically.   

INSTALLATION:
Unzip into a temporary folder. Double click on the STC2***.EXE file and 
follow prompts. You may delete the temporary folder when installation is 
complete.
If you get any error messages stating that certain files could not be found,
please visit my WEB site to download the VB5 runtime files.  I did not
include these files for many reasons.  One is redundancy.  If you have ever
installed a Visual Basic Program you probably already have these files on
your computer.  Two, is the size of the download file.  Without the runtime 
files, your download time is cut down by more than half!  
If you do happen to need the runtime files, don't be discouraged
by having to download an extra file just to run this program.  The runtime
files are needed by ALL Visual Basic 5 programs, and once you have them
you will be able to run any other VB5 programs you download.  For more

FEATURES:
Sales Tax Calculator is designed to be sort of like an adding machine.  
You simply key in the numbers and press the + button to add several items 
together.  Once you finish with one list, hit the ENTER button to clear 
the list and start over. (Or use the button labeled for that purpose).  I 
have included ToolTips for all of the functional items, and sounds; either 
of which may be turned off depending on your preference.  You may select 
the tax rate for your area, and change it at any time.  The tax rate is 
saved so you will only have to choose it once.  New to this version is the
ability to set a Percent Off, i.e. 20% off and so on.  This option, as well
as others not mentioned here are now accessible through a menu bar.  I am 
working on a help file that will go more in depth on all the features, but I
believe most are pretty easy to figure out.  If you have ANY questions feel 
free to contact me with the information at the bottem of this page, or use
the hyperlinks in the About box to contact me on the internet.

REGISTRATION:
Sales Tax Calculator is NOT freeware.  Older versions of Sales Tax Calculator
were registered through e-mail at no cost, but alas, no longer.  The time I 
spend writing programs requires me to now charge for my services. 
Sales Tax Calculator is now Shareware.  That means you are free to try this 
program for 30 days.  After that you must either register the program or delete
from your machine.  The cost for Sales Tax Calculator is $9.95 US.  I have
made every effort to make registering as easy as can be.  Please read the 
register.txt file for information on registering this program.  Please support 
the shareware concept.  Your registration will enable me to spend more time on 
this program, adding more features.  Also, registered users will get FREE upgrades
to ALL new versions of Sales Tax Calculator.  Register once, get continued support
and upgrades for free.
