[GNC] Payroll - basic

[Wm Tarr]

1. I'm glad you persevered, Richard, there were some of us that thought 
it was workable at the beginning.

2. I get to see your attachments, I know other people's software and the 
digest strips some of them.

3. There was never any question in my mind of gnc handling the 
accounting, I thought you were more concerned with the pretty printing.

4. it is good that you don't need inventory, I have some pointers if you do.

P.S. you have mis-spelt "Contribution" on one line.

P.P.S well done you!
