2 large installs on their way and we are doing major beta testing on our latest software, tonight I have been planning how to fix a problem on an optimising screen.
New code - what a lot of work
Yes it is our DOS to Windows conversion, yes our DOS software was industry leading, and yes it does make converting from DOS to Windows harder because we cannot do a rubbish product.
Oh well I know what my first job is tomorrow ::)
And it only leaves me tea breaks for my OOFing
Nearly midnight and I am thinking of Visual Objects ;D

So, when are you going to glance an eye at my LPG kit?
Btw, I've spoken to Bernard - He remembers you :P

Bloody shell guns would NOT lock on to it! BP's are fine :-/

Why not - there are not many designs - there are the bayonet ones and the big lever clamp ones.

I shone a torch in the filling point - and noticed a screw for holding the filler together has come through a tad. I rekon that's not letting the gun go fully home. I'll check it out tomorrow :y

IIRC Shell use the trigger type that you lock with a small clip......BP use the lever type.
Ive had probs with the trigger type now and then........but removing it and trying again has cured the prob

Any code -whatever mode- does the job right is OK!
DOS codes are very small even you can make it work on 8086 if you can find !

Looks at the .exes
We use Blinker with compression .exes range from 600kB to 1.1MB uncompressed biggest would be nearly 3MB, they also require DPMI

I sympathise Martin - my brother wants a lot of modifications to his Till software, and even more to the Stock system. Plus we need to modify the quiz system here. And there are some software changes to make to the forum :-X
And its really busy at work as well.

Sounds like your very busy then Martin ::)

After the last year it is good
We need a few big sales to reestablish ourselves.
However the biggest single site processor in the UK wants to move to our new software - our current customer (same database as our older software) so that will be done sometime too.

Spotted a Phar-Lap DOS extender licence sticker on one of our bits of kit today. Brought back some memories. <shudder>

LOL, the rest of the (Business) world left all that DOS junk behind when OS/2 Warp and NT3.51 came out (nearly 15 years ago).
Now OS/2, that does bring back nasty memories.... ....esp IBM's remote control/management software, DCAF [smiley=thumbdown.gif]

Flippin 'eck, used to program for that back in my MASM days. Utterly horrible, but about the only PM library around at the time...

still I see to many places in industry using DOS and the old 80X86 series..Mostly garages, car parts sale shops,big markets, services..Problem is these machines now dont have any parts around..If can be found more expensive than a P4 processor ;D.. And become impossible to repair or upgrade..And the owners are very insistent not to change them.. >:(
I remember I gave my 1 MB RAM modules for my bank to use in ATM machines ..The firm was selling them 100 $ /1 MB :o
