Windows:

In most Point-Of-Sale operations, the person ringing sales will not be a computer ex-

pert. For this reason most POS stations still run DOS instead of Windows.

DOS needs less memory, less hard disk space and applications in DOS run faster

because there is less multi-tasking.

But you can run the Retail CashBox from with-in Windows . To do this:

1) First make sure the program runs in DOS. To do this add one customer, one inven-

tory item and ring one sale. Next, use the HISTORY function to look-up the invoice you just

printed. The HISTORY function will check to see if SHARE is running correctly.

2) Exit The Retail CashBox and start Windows.

3) Create a new Icon or use the DOS icon to run the CB2.BAT. To do this consult your

Windows manual.

We run Windows for Workgroups and The Retail CashBox everyday. We have not

tested Windows 95.
