Been a while huh? > LinuxPOS is available from Linux Canada (its not open source though). Half of the application has already been migrated. What I mean is the DOS POS (actually a WIN32 console app), was already switched six months ago from using DBF files to using Berkeley DB. BTW, BDB runs well (fast & reliable!!!) under Windows, only problem is it adds about 500K to your executable (static link). Anyway, the only thing left to change now is the user-interface, which is why we are looking at ncurses, or any other lightweight user-interface toolkit that will do the job. > it uses Tcl (which is not quite as heavy as X). I'll test it then. I guess if LinuxPOS uses TCL, then it must be pretty reliable. Thanks. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
