ARCO does not keep this information at all.  The in-store computers
have no way of getting the information from the network, and the
financial software that does the mini-market accounting does not use
it at all either [runs on a 3B15].  The franchisees don't get the $.10
either, ARCO does and probably helps pay for the network.
