NOTES
- Borrower
- Is cross referenced to the borrowers attribute of GCstar.conf. However there is no constraint placed upon this field, therefore any name should be a valid entry. Unknown and Nobody also appear to be valid entries.
- Borrowed_On/Returned_On
- Dates are free form in that the user can enter the date in any format s/he wishes, However using the program dialog to choose dates defaults to the date format setting in GCstar.conf
Example
