THE VIDEO STORE version 2.0
============================
I. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to The Video Store. The Video Store is a Point-Of-Sale (POS)
system to operate any video rental store. The program supports bar code
scanners, standard printers & receipt printers, cash drawers, and modems.
II. INSTALLATION
The Video Store requires any IBM PC compatable computer with a hard
disk drive. Prior to installation, verify that the CONFIG.SYS file meets
the following requirements:
FILES=99
BUFFERS=20
It is also highly recommended to have EMS or XMS memory installed. Even
though the software will operate without this memory, it will operate
much slower than if EMS or XMS memory is installed.
Refer to your DOS manual if any of the above is unfamiliar to the user.
To run the software, enter VID at the DOS prompt.
The following environment variable commands are supported:
SET VID=NETWORK Forces the program to operate under the network
mode. Please note: The program automatically
senses the existance of a network during normal
operation. This feature is only needed if the
program cannot detect the network.
SET VID=COLOR Forces the program to operate in color mode.
SET VID=MONO Forces the program to operate in monochrome mode.
SET VID=E:0 Forces EMS mode to be disabled.
The environment variable commands may be combined. For example,
SET VID=NETWORK;MONO;E:0
If your computer has EMS/XMS memory, it will attempt to operate in protected
mode, otherwise it will operate in real mode. If you wish to force the
software to operate in real mode, set the following environment variable:
SET BLINKER=/DT20000
III. ONLINE HELP
Online Help is available from inside the program. It may be activated by
pressing ALT-H from anywhere in the program.
