Important Notes

The "demo" versions are the same as the "live", except that they are limited to about thirty customers and one hundred products and will only run for about two hours at a time.

The "live" versions will not start and run without a keyblock. The keyblock attaches to the parallel port and only comes when you purchase the live version.

The demo versions can be run multi-user.

The Business demo has a main menu option called Tech Support. In there are a selection of technical notes to help you with the program.

The programs should have about 530K of free memory to run. To find out how much free memory you have, type MEM at the DOS prompt. If you have less than 530K free, try moving some things to upper memory.

Programs can be configured to support various printers by going into the Customize section of the main menu. Do NOT turn on options that you do not have. If you do not have a cash drawer hooked up to your computer, do not turn that option on. Doing so will cause an error message to appear on your screen.
