Author Work a cash drawer

Hi Folks,

I've been asked to modify a program written in Clipper 5.3e
so that it will work a cash drawer.

Can anyone give me some advice on how to start a "plan"
to do that?

Frankly, I have no idea where to even start.

Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,

normaly the only work with a cash drawer is to send an 'open' command to it.
Most cash drawers have a serial interface to be connected with the PC's comm
port.
With CA Tools III you can send the necessary commands to it.

hth,
Detlef
