	I think it was posted by Mike Heins, as a patch to Minivend.  You could
continue with placing zeros into the coupon field and perhaps write a PERL
script to remove any lines that had zero -- put it in your Crontab to run
every night.  OR, you could just leave the records and have access to some
tracking information - you would know who has used the store.
