NEW!
Version 7.04d of Cash Register can now be downloaded.
New features:

In version 7.04d

Bug fix. When starting the THEATER.EXE program you are required to setup ticket printing. However if a different part of the program did not create a sub-folder the program would die.

In version 7.04c

The new program file TEXTREAD.EXE will read reports text files and then allow you to display, print, copy, or delete them.

The new program file CLOSECNT.EXE will add up the cash drawer when you close the register.

The new program file PROGRAMS.EXE will allow you to start up to 9 different programs from the main menu of the POS.EXE program by pressing [F4]

In version 7.04b

Bug fix. When using the "5. Voids" feature to view a past gift card sale the tax displayed is always 5389762.88 and this is added to the sale total. This was only a display error and was not in the actual saved values.

In version 7.04a

Bug fix. In all previous versions that have the time clock feature if you transmit a timecard file the file data would have the current week's dates instead of the actual dates.

In version 7.04 if you used the POSCONFG.EXE program to start the RECEIVE.EXE program it would die.

In version 7.04

If you attach 2 printers to your computer the program can now automatically print receipts to one printer and reports to the other.

A total count of all pieces sold in the sale is displayed at the bottom of the "Pieces" column on the sales screen and at the bottom of the receipt.

Running the program under DOSBox will allow you to display the program full screen on all PC computers and also run the program on 64 bit systems.

Bug fix. In some instances if you asked for a phone number number when payment is by check the program would die.

Bug fix. When you are in the stock table and entering a regular price or a sale price you could press [F1] to toggle between 2 or 3 decimal pricing. However [F1] is also the key to search the stock table which no longer did that. Now you must press [F7] to toggle between 2 or 3 decimal pricing.

In version 7.03

The PURCHASE.EXE program has been hugely expanded and will now print purchase orders that you can just stick in an envelope or fax. It will also manage the purchase orders.

The time clock can now be setup so that the week ends on either Saturday or Sunday.

Bug fix. When you pulled up a time card from a previous week the dates were wrong.

At the end of a sale when you choose a payment method, the amount due will be filled in for you for ANY payment method, not just CASH.

In version 7.02

There is now a time clock where employees can punch in and out.

If you have setup your register to create automatic reports the program will now email or FTP those reports over the internet. (Requires Windows '95 or later.)

Auto backup. When the register closes it will automatically backup the folders. Requires high capacity drive of 200 meg or larger.

In version 7.0c

You can now have 3 decimal pricing on selected items, i.e. 3.579 for gasoline.

The program will transmit a sales file to your mall when you close the register for the day.

The manual has a detailed new section on setting up the program for use in a restaurant.

In version 7.0a

There is now a "reports" feature for ticket sales. Access through the "Ticket sales" feature of the POSCONFG.EXE program.

When setting up an event for ticket sales if you change the event header you will be asked if you want to save it as a new event or as the old event. The second option is handy if you made a mistake when typing the header.

When selecting an event if you press [F1] you will still list all events but now you will be at the date you entered instead of the beginning of the list.

In version 7.0

HUGE new feature to sell TICKETS.

Lookup a stock number or gift card balance from the main menu.

Simulate the function keys by pressing [ALT] + [number]

When the register is locked or closed the pole display will now display a message asking customers to find another register.

A bunch of bug fixes in the Kitchen program.


FREE!
Got your attention?
This is a FREE site! There is nothing for sale here, there are no ads. All the software listed here is FREE to download. There are no registration fees. There are no shopping carts. No e-commerce. No place to enter a credit card number. It's the internet the way it used to be. Enjoy.


Welcome. Here are the latest versions of my software. Each program has extensive online help plus CYPHER and HARRIS TEST will print out a user's guide. Cash register has user's guides in text format, Microsoft Word format and there is even an online user's guide. Each program is zipped and will require you to use an unzipping utility before it can be run. If you need unzipping software PKWARE is a good place to get it.

This software is for IBM and compatible computers. Minimum system requirements are 512K memory for Harris Test or Cash Register and 384K for the others, Cash Register will also require a hard drive (25M). That's it! Otherwise these programs will run on ANYTHING!

For the technical minded "anything" means DOS 2.1 or higher, 8088 4.77 mhz processor, monochrome non-graphic monitor, 360K floppy drive, daisy wheel printer. Of course if you have better equipment (and if you do not live under a rock, you do) then the programs will run quicker, better, and have more features. Basically if your computer can do something then this software will use that feature, however if your computer can't do something then this software will still run on your computer it will just not use that feature.

Do you have a Printer connected to a USB port?

But all this software WILL run on your IBM or compatible computer. I spend a huge amount of programming time on features that 99.99% of users will never see. If your computer has no color, no graphics, no screen pages, minimal memory, no hard drive, no speed, no math coprocessor, no Windows, no MMX, no mouse, and no cache, but you can still turn it on, then this stuff will run and with reasonable speed too. On the other hand, if you have any PC built after 1985 then this will be the fastest software that you will ever own. Touch a key and it is already finished.

Downloading Downloading
DOWNLOADING
To download a program use your mouse to click on the disk icon. If a window pops up on your screen telling you that you do not have the proper viewer click on the option to "save the file". Harris Test must be run from a directory \TESTER, you must create this directory and then move the file there before unzipping.

Snail Mail Snail Mail
SNAIL MAIL
Don't want to tie up your computer with a download or the download not working? These programs can be sent to you on a disk through the mail. While the programs are free unfortunatly the postage, disks, and mailers are not. There are two possible options... 1. I could spend thousands of dollars a year sending out copies of my programs to anyone who asks, or 2. Anyone who wants my software (and for some reason cannot just download it from here) could send a disk and self addressed stamped envelope to me. I will then copy the program to their disk and use their stamped envelope to mail it back.

If you guessed option #1 then lots of luck.

If you guessed option #2 then click for INSTRUCTIONS.

Bugs Bugs
BUGS
This software has no known bugs. The reason for this is that as soon as one is found it is acknowledged and squished. I have a really weird policy. If you tell me about a bug, I will post it on this site, squish it, and then upload the new version for everyone to download.
If YOU find a bug in one of these programs go to the "Bug Fixes" section for that program and see if it is listed. If it is, it has been fixed. Just download the new version and the problem will go away. If it is not listed, send me an email and it will be fixed as soon as possible.
So how often is this neccessary? About once or twice a year total for all the programs on this page. And that's with adding features all the time. These programs are pretty stable. Plus since these are DOS programs you don't have to worry about Windows boo boos even when you run them from Windows. Never ask again, "Who is Gen. Protection Fault and why is he messing with my computer?" [g]

Brochure Brochure
BROCHURE
I have received several requests for a brochure of the software that is offered on this site that can be passed out to others. This link will let you read and download a two page synopsis of the descriptions of my software.

NOTE
Even though a minimum age is given for each program this is not children's software. Since you enter the words / texts / questions / etc. into the programs your data will determine to which age level each program will be appropriate. This software is currently being used by preschools, grade schools, high schools, universities, trade schools, corporations, public utilities, military bases, and government agencies. You can use this software to teach everything from ABC's to Anatomy, Ballistics or Computer programming.

Support
SUPPORT
