It is for HMRC BPT-rti and an accounts program that I keep a Windows Machine. Any current machine Windows 10 or 7 will do. PS Even though I have 3 old 32 bit Ubuntu 'test' machines in use at my U3A site I have never been able to successfully load or operate BPT-rti on Linux. When you succeed, can you advise your success to me so I can learn. Anyone else getting HMRC BPT-rti (Basic Payroll Tools - real time information) program to work on Linux? -- regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
