DHES

The work in terms of setting it up, or the work in terms of maintaining and editing it? Or was it both?

I remember that a long time ago, someone came up with the idea of a DHPOS wiki. Is that still around?
If not, one should really be set up. It'd be great if it was on this site, but a hosted one would work too. I'd be willing to get one set up on a hosted site, if anyone's interested.

Well, you don't neccessarially need to use QBasic. Theoretically you could look at the QBasic examples for accessing the stock table and figure out the equivelent commands for another launguage with access to MySQL, and then run the program in paralell with DHPOS. Also, I think that it is possible t...

I doubt a MacBook will help you unless you put BootCamp, Parallels, or some other Windows emulation software on it. As everyone has said before, DHPOS is a DOS program . This means that it will work on any machine that runs DOS. This includes windows. However, Mac does not run DOS, unless you use a ...

To anyone that "can't" donate: You don't have to donate a thousand dollars! If every person that is a member on this site sent five dollars, Dale would have $1410. If every person that downloaded last year donated one dollar for every time they downloaded, Dale would have over 40,000 dollars! That's...

Of course, the downside to this is: How is Dale supposed to display these in DHPOS? DHPOS is a DOS based program, and, consequentially, can't display full color images like these. You could always do something like use some kind of "loader" program or whatever but it would just take up that much mor...

I happen to know of a way to disable the "X" button using an external program. Layered on top of an exit password, most novice users would give up and simply stop closing it. The downside is: First, the user can still Ctrl+Alt+Del out of it, and, second, there is a certain easy way to bypass the pas...

The main problem with this endeavor is, I am certainly not the brightest kid on the block, and, I don't have a whole lot of time. Additionally, the area I (sort of) "specialize" in happens to be MS Access. Of course, I'm assuming that there's some wacko out there that actually thinks Macs can be use...

Please help me out by telling me what you want in this software as I have little background in any kind of theater.
A lot of it is common sense but there are things that I know little about.

Do you want me to start a small wiki or forum for this?

I am actually working on an open source movie theater ticket sales program at the moment. Currently, it's still in Pre-alpha but if you would care to help out (not through donations) it would make it go a bit faster. Development is in RealBasic. I believe that if you contact the RealSoftware corpora...

Disclaimer: I don't know much about QB and the little I do isn't very much. Therefore, I may not be held responsible if this suggestion is not very good and can't be done. <hr> I would assume you could something sorta like a registration system where you store the "proper" date in the registry, the...

You can get a free beta copy from microsoft. You can also get a free copy of Office 07 beta.
I don't remember exactly how to get it.

Hi, I know a bit about writing software in QuickBasic and I'm wondering how I might peform a sale remotely. I want to create a self checkout system but there is no way that I've found to send commands to DHPOS to start a sale. One of my friends is setting up a store and he would like a couple of sel...

Actually, if you can find some kiosk software, you can set it up to only open up one instance of DHPOS. If you are okay with your employees exiting the program, just write the password for the kiosk software on a sticky note and stick it to the terminal.

I'm not sure but you could write a bit of add-on software based off of the code Dale provides at http://dhpos.com/fformat.htm#pole . You could have an external application that figures the deposit and displays it elsewhere on the screen. I hope I understood your question and provided a helpful answer.
