Do you want to sell POS systems?
Moderators:daleadmin, Dale Harris, Alan, Andrew
Over the years many people have asked me if I would mind if they added their POS hardware to my software so that they would be able to sell complete POS systems.
My answer, "Sure, why not, as long as you do not sell the actual software."
Now I have decided that this concept deserves a more detailed answer and even some advice from me. So I have put this up on my site. http://keyhut.com/sell_pos.htm
Meanwhile do you have any experiences selling POS systems with DHPOS that you would like to share? Good news, tips, questions, ideas, horror stories. If so post them below.
If this topic generates enough posts I may make it its own forum.

There is a definate market for this software and coupled with hardware is practically unbeatable in it's simplicity and ease of use. It's so resource minimal in this day and age of mega windows programs that require massive training programs.

autoexec.bat
Do you have an AUTOEXEC.BAT file you can edit to launch DHPOS. That is how it is done from MS-DOS
Re: autoexec.bat
Could you please tell me how this is done. I would like to auto-boot my program, so I wouldn't have to start Windows everytimedaleadmin wrote:Do you have an AUTOEXEC.BAT file you can edit to launch DHPOS. That is how it is done from MS-DOS.

Your AUTOEXEC.BAT file is located right in your C: directory. You may have to unhide your system files to see it. Then right click it and goto edit. Inside notepad just add a line saying "CD (path to pos)" and another line saying "pos.exe". Obviously if you have a version of windows that is launched from AUTOEXEC.BAT you will have to remove the line calling windows to start.
For example
You can also edit the file from dos by getting to the c: directory and typeing "edit AUTOEXEC.BAT"
For example
Code: Select all
CD c:\pos
pos.exe

Re: Do you want to sell POS systems?
Its easier just to add this to autoexec.bat
C:\POS\POS.EXE
I don't know if its worth putting this line in CONFIG.SYS too (prob not necessary for newer PCs)
PATH=C:\POS

Re: Run FreeDOS and start DHPOS from autoexec.bat
Being completely bored and seeing there's no new horses to beat, I'll resurrect this 10y old one, for one more lashing.
The PATH statement is called from inside the AUTOEXEC.BAT, not in the CONFIG.SYS file .
I agree with Alan that adding your register's directory to the System's PATH has little to no return.
But for those who want it; or feel they're needing it...
In FreeDOS OS you may already have a PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file like this.
PATH C:\fdos\bin;c:\util
You can open the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and append your POS directory to the end of the existing PATH statement by adding a semicolon followed by the path you want to add. ;C:\MyPOSdir
Or to preserve any existing system's PATH and append your POSRegister path to it, on a new line after any other PATH statements add:
PATH=%PATH%;C:\MyPOSdir
And of course, the call to POS.EXE must be after any PATH statement(s).
These are the rantings of a madman. Only a fool would listen.
