Please note that
.BR /rdb 's
accounting system is meant to serve as an example of data-base programming
with
.BR /rdb .
It is not designed to be an exhaustive accounting package, nor is it
designed to teach you how to perform accounting.
Mark Williams technical support will help you if you have a problem with an
.BR /rdb
command, but not with problems that involve the principles of accounting.
