Bruce, Ok, my life officially sucks. The DOS version of PKZip will not compile long filenames. So once again I am being dragged against my will into the nasty domain of Windows instead of staying in my happy home of DOS where you can actually get things done. I have recompiled the program file and t...

I have added a photo to the bottom of http://keyhut.com/mimo.jpg It shows a Windows 7 computer (my wife's) running DHPOS under DOSBox with the screen resolution set to 800 X 600. NOTE: You cannot press [ALT] + [ENTER} to make DOSBox full screen, if you do, the BIGPOLE window will revert back to the ...

Bruce, Well the 7" Mimo monitor was there when I came home from work. I plugged into a USB port, put the CD in the drive, and loaded the driver for the display (but not the touch driver), and then turned it on to see the background of my desktop. I launched the latest version BIGPOLEQ4 (http://keyhu...

Bruce,

The version of BIGPOLEQ2.EXE that you have prints the tax on your printer when using option #1. This is because I was testing something. Download again to eliminate this. http://keyhut.com/bigpoleq3.exe

What a clever idea. The minimum Windows screen resolution is 800 X 600 so make a display that has the maximum resolution of 800 X 480. What are we missing here? Oh right, the bottom of the screen. So I guess the best solution is to create a mode in BIGPOLE that just does not use the bottom of the sc...

Today's fun activities. Today I borrowed a Windows 7, 64 bit laptop computer from the resident kid and plugged the VGA monitor into it so that it had two screens. We downloaded DOSBOX on the computer. Then created a C:\POS folder and loaded all the DHPOS software, the "keyshop" data files and the ne...

For those of you who are looking for a better option than a pole display (something cheaper that displays more data) until recently we had the Pertelian X2040 display that would display 4 lines of data and code only $50. Unfortunately the X2040 display is no longer available. Another option is the B...

fmisle,

I receive 1 or 2 donations a month. So don't expect a lot of replies to your post.

Dukane,

You could come to the chat room and ask.

Nick, When the window comes up to show you the printers is the POS-5870 printer listed there? Do you select it before pressing "OK"? Did you install the driver for your printer? If you load a word processing program and attempt to print to your POS-5870 does your word processing program print to it?...

Bruce,

Good plan. The only problem that I see with that is if this is a 167 line sale and the first one was sold on line 42, the second one on line 97, and the free one on line 154.

After all you are not going to expect the customer to group like things together, are you?

I have gone through this before but I guess it is time to repeat it. Here are some deals that have been requested in the past... Buy 1 get one free. Buy 1 get a percentage off on a second. Buy 1 get a dollar amount off on a second. (And consider that you could want to set any percentage or dollar am...

Theoretically I am still working on it. However the "rewards" feature is turning out to be much more involved that I thought it would be and real life is using up a lot of my time lately.
