RatShopper




		The program is called RatShopper, it has been developed as a 32-bit application for the Win95/98/M2/NT/200 etc. desktop. I am a professional programmer with over 20 years experience, but I mostly develop medium to large applications as custom projects for clients. A few years ago, I discovered installed HandyShopper and think it's a great application, but my wife wanted to enter stuff on the desktop, and so I developed this and am now trying to make it useful user friendly shareware. I am open to suggestions for changes and additions to the program. The basic RatShopper program is Freeware, another version may be available with additional features which will be Shareware.
