- 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
-
-
