Plain html? I've thought of a cgi backup chat for people who can't use java
the cgi::irc stuff is pretty good.

Mmmm sorry about that. Here's the situation, and how we got here, and why I am unsure what my next step should be. 1. A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away (ok, it was only the next town over, but who's counting?) I registered home-nets.biz with a provider called hostroute. It seemed like a good...

bdude, it should only list "fixed width" fonts and skip the rest. On average, there are no more than 20 fixed width fonts.

I'm not sure exactly how I can handle huge numbers of fonts since it's not exactly a bug, but I planned on adding a scrollable menu to a later version.

peachey, the library I'm working with has some support for bitmaps, and I've added support for it myself, what I am unsure about is spacing? On a page, it's gonna be difficult to get things to line up right with a logo at the top. On a continous roll, this is not such an issue. Issue number 2... how...

Ok, here we go.... I fixed the last major known bug in what I want to put up as beta this morning. I'll be uploading it later today and passing a link to a handful of people who have PMd me. if none of their computers burst into flames, go nuclear, or cause a catostrophic, irreversible tear in the f...

peewee, it's a bit more complicated than that. It might provide a piece of feedback via the lpt port, BUT unless the printer driver exposes this information, I can't read it without "breaking" the operational concept of aprint. I'll look at it, though.

no idea at all how to sense the cash drawer... there usually is a signal for it but I dont think I can get it through the print driver interface... (Alan?)

As for the pole thing... well I was thinking the same thing. Once I get the main aprint stuff working nicely I may add the pole program into it.

Update: ok, got a basic version up and running. This is 100% new code, none of the old aprint stuff is in there. The benefits of this are increased flexibility for me (as theres alot of things I can do now I couldn't then) and no DLL dependancy (it will "just work" without a DLL installed, on window...

Ok guys and gals.. is there anything fancy you'd like to see added to aprint? A new version is in the works and today I'm playing around with stuff that might make your lives easier, so let me know. Here's what your gonna see, hopefully this week. In the next couple days, a release of aprint will be...

Could take alot of space... but maybe not? (For Dale: if you have any space left in the stock table, perhaps enough for an integer... you could just have a value that is a reference number to an outside table so this deal can be done without a real big overhead. Wouldn't be too slow, either, as you ...

Seems your printer (or the PC fax driver) doesn't have the font aprint looks for. I'll see what I can come up with for you, in the past this as meant sending out a custom mini-aprint program, it's not too hard to do but we'll need to get in contact on it. If you register on the forum, I can PM you b...

Well, POS does not function in a (windows based) ssh session... that is, with an ssh server running on a windows machine. It does work within ssh, via DOSEMU, on linux, but this is complicated and error prone, to setup. I might point out that technically the file-share based structure the POS uses i...

I'm glad I could help. It bothers me that I don't have the time to contribute to the project that I used to, so I'm glad I can help in some small way.

Yup, POS runs nicely on linux using DOSEMU or xdosemu, and in fact you can do some really cool stuff with it on these systems. It can be complicated to get printing to work, but it can happen

Well, your on the right track. Networking between the machines is apparently setup, so you only need to do a few things. First is to create a global folder for POS. To do this you need to pick one of the two machines to create a share on. It doesn't really matter which one, but for this example lets...
