For many years now they can replace the cash register machines (those have special license and are sealed by the tax authorities) with computers. They needed special triple-print paper punched though by the tax authorities but now they can choose to use special accounting software that is certified and prints certain numbers at the bottom of each normal A4 or whatever other paper format receipt. The s/w then can create a disk with the receipt data regularly and they give it to the tax authorities (maybe some s/w can also upload the info online to the tax authorities or periodically connect and upload when needed). All such stuff is specified by the project TAXIS (see www.taxisnet.gr [Greek], also see www.gsis.gr [General Secretariat of Information Systems - Greek Ministry of Finance - they should have an english page - can find ministries' pages from www.goverment.gr and www.parliament.gr links]) > B.t.w. osF has got a greek translation but it only works on a > greek windows (default codepage) At the regional settings on the control panel, there's selection of the current locale but also and Advanced button where you select the default language for non-Unicode programs. Maybe you need to set Greek there (classic problem with non-Unicode s/w running on English windows in Greece, some people see garbage fonts and wonder why cause that option is a bit hidden in Windows). Also you can get Greek MUI (Multi-User Interface) and install it over English Windows and then at the regional settings appears an extra option where you can select the OS default language to be Greek in order to see the OS menus in Greek. Some s/w like Office (and some other third-party s/w) respect that option and whether they use MUI technology (only MS s/w use that for now, not yet public technology from what I know) or not, they can show their own menus etc. in the OS default language then (irrespective of the regional options settings - user can still have currency etc. in English or other locale if they wish). I'm not sure which API call (or registry setting) allows you to find the OS default language, neither of which shell notification is there (there should be some) to inform a running program that the OS default/menu language has been changed to update its guy on the fly ---------------- George Birbilis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Computer & Informatics Engineer Microsoft MVP J# for 2004-2006 Borland "Spirit of Delphi" ++ QuickTime, Delphi, ActiveX, .NET components ++ http://www.kagi.com/birbilis ++ Robotics ++ http://www.mech.upatras.gr/~Robotics http://www.mech.upatras.gr/~robgroup _____ avast!
