WinPawn related additional files for your UTAH:
===============================================

The new Utah requirements for electronic police format Pawn/Buy reporting
went into effect in January 2005.

This zip file includes the file you are reading and
POLREP.APP
MMOD.APP

Please copy these files into the winpawn directory along with the latest update
from http://www.abri.com/ft/wp320ud.zip which will replace Winpawn.exe file too.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS for WinPawn users:
=============================================================

CUSTOMER ID ENTRIES:
The new police report format requests two ID's:
SS # and other ID like driver license or whatever.
From now everytime you enter a pawn/buy you must enter the ID's (AND
correct the old customer one) in following format (Examples are between the >>><<< symbols):

SS SSnum   (Example: >>>SS 1234-45-0987<<< )
OR
DL DLnum   (Example: >>>DL 3456798<<< in which case the State will be taken from customer address)
OR 
DL AgencyID IdNum   (Example: >>>DL CA 12345XB6789<<< )
                    (Example: >>>DL Mexico 4958-RT-879<<< )
OR
IdType AgencyID IdNum
(Example: >>>GreenCard US 345-09-98457<<< IdType must be one word)
(Example: >>>Passport England A456-E509-45)

In order of priority the state wants 1. the SS number, 2. driver
license, 3) another ID type if available.

JEWELRY and GUNS:
Jewelry category now will come up with more detail entries for
stones etc. It is not absolutely required but helps police data.
