For the benefit of those who currently
do not need networking, I will post
this reminder.
DhPos 4.28 is a gem.
It is a solid, stable, reliable workhorse.
It looks good, it runs good.
Thanks Dale

I have to agree with casmit, 4.28 is excellent and as I do not need network features I will stay with this, "If it ain't broken, don't fix it"

Good idea. POS 5.0 will have the exact same features as version 4.28 except that 5.0 will work on a network. So if you do not need network compatability then 4.28 will be identical to 5.0 except that 4.28 will have less bugs since I have not made any changes to 4.28 while I have made tons of changes to 5.0.

However that is only a good plan for now. Future features will be stuffed only into versions 5.01 and beyond. I have tried in the past to maintain two versions of this software and it has been a nightmare. But that does not mean that 4.28 is a dead end. Whenever new features are added to the program there is always the possibility of messing something up that has worked before. So even if I continued the 4.+ series, as soon as I added a new feature to it, it would be suspect until Barry and others have told me if I have done something stupid, again.

Dale,

For the benefit of old 4.28 single-station
users like me, is it time yet to download
and move forward with the 5's or would
you wait a while and stick with 4.28
where networking is not yet needed?

Thanks for a fine piece of work.

Chasmet,

Version 5 is still in beta testing. This means thatit is not stable enough to release. At this time <u>no one</u> should actually be using version 5.

Plus, except for the network feature, there are no other new features or bug fixes in version 5 so if you are a "single user" there is not reason to upgrade even after version 5 has been released. Wait for, oh let's say, version 5.06 when there is a new feature that you can use.

Thanks Dale.

From us non-network-now 4.28ers, do you
still want 'possible bug' reports?

Of course bug reports still need to be filed - there's a high chance that a bug in 4.28 would exist in 5.

Send them on in, unless you already see the bug has been squashed in the 5.x series reports.

I too am using 4.28 , however by using POS 5 one can access the stock table using the "stock" and "purchase" programs both , without closing down the register, which I find very handy.
