RE: Barcode printing
If you are just looking to print from One particular printer, there are also external devices you can hook inline to the printer and the cable, which will take ASCII codes and translate them to the appropriate HP codes to produce the bar code. the 128 barcode from Pick, (David Church's) should be available from the files section of the list (I forget how).

RE: How to schedule Pick basic programs
what I do for that is I have a script I run when either of UV admins logs in which checks the status of any phantoms that are supposed to be running on a daily basis, and if not, reports that they are not running. which is much easier in *NIX (with the ps command). I don't know what you would use in NT to see running processes. Using PORT.STATUS unless your root i *NIX only shows your processes, not all processes. Don't know how it behaves in windows. This is fine for one or two events. However, the scheduling software (like BENTON and others) would probably be the better route to take if you have a lot of scheduling. But You could also write a small UV Basic program that would sample the date/time, then check to see if any processes should fire off, and phantom them off, then do a CHAIN to phantom itself again (to prevent previous completed phantoms from hanging the processes up waiting for the parent phantom to die). If you go this route, make sure the checks are only done once per minute or you will start rapid firing processes until the minute is up. At least in UV phantoms are free (unless you start using the socket stuff with the newer UV releases - or so it's been stated).

People would pick it up, smell it, scutinize it, shake it, asked if it worked. This went on for 2 hours. Finally, I put a $1 price tag on it. It sold in less than 2 minutes, with no questions asked.

This might be a bit more than you want, but in the long run, may solve your needs better. What if you imbed you own psudocode, tag like into the text you want printed. (ie. x=###,y=###,size=###,font=xxx) then write a subroutine (once), that will convert your psudeocode to the specific printer's code. This way if later, you change printers to a different language, all you will need to do is update the conversion subroutine, all the psudocode can remain the same. Again, initially, a LOT more work.

We have two stand alone Epson LX300+ 9 pin dot matrix printers we use to print labels. They are defined as generic (ASCII) devices. The printers are old and the output is acceptable, at best. I'd like to replace the printers with label printers that will print on peel off labels of roll stock. These printers generally come with Windows drivers but Unix drivers seem to be lacking. Some of the higher end printers come with a programming manual that would allow me to write code to send control sequences to the printer and control everything. I've done that before but I'd rather not take the time to do that if I can simply attach a printer, either to the network or a serial connection, load a driver and create a queue, and then simply send my few lines of text to the print queue and get a label. Bar code would be nice but is not mandatory. I'm sure that we are just not looking in the right place or closely enough. We are not printing high volumes of labels so less expensive is better.

RE: UniVerse to excel feeds
Well, here is one way, given you are running Unix and want to use windows... If you just want to load data into Excel and you only want to do this on one windows machine. There is a lpd/lpr daemon program I use (www.brooksnet.com) called RPM which when setup on a windows machine, looks like a remote printer to unix. It has the ability to take a print job, and force-feed it into an application. You can set it up so it will stick put an .csv extension on the temp file (print job) it receives and will then launch Excel, which will in turn read the data and display it. On the unix side, you just create a ASCII csv file and print it to the remote printer. As discussed earlier, if you use XML, then you can get excel (newer versions) to do a bit of formatting as well, just change the lpd/lpr program to add an .xml extension. This is fairly low cost solution (I think a single license is about $100-150.00) If you want this on mulitple machines, a different method might be to write a small PERL program that runs as a service on windows, that when it receives a file via sockets, it then launches excel with that file. Have a Unix side first determine IP of requesting machine (another discussion :)) and open a socket to that IP and send the data to the PERL program.

We sell software that does EXACTLY that. I might even be able to email you an out-of-date copy (several years out-of-date ...) To try and explain how it works ... We first look at the first-priority tax bands, and build an array of gross2net at each kink. Let's say you pay 10% on the first 10K, 20% on the next 10K, and 30% on the next... Gross Net 0 0 10K9K 20K17K 30K24K Now let's say that, on your net of tax income, you now have to pay 5% of the first 10K in health premiums, and 10% of the next 10K. Gross Net1 Net2 0 0 10K9K 10K9.5K 20K17K 20K19.5K 30K24K For each tax in turn, you now add a new column to the right, and extrapolate back to the left. It's easy. That's what our program does. And you end up with, in the gross column, the exact gross for every point at which the marginal tax rate changes. Our ex-IT-manager once demonstrated this program at a beauty contest, up against one of the big accountancy firm. Their guy didn't believe him when he said he could do a net to gross calculation instantaneously, so they tried it. Our program was instant, while you could watch their program iterating down towards the correct result :-) Of course, in truth, our program didn't do it instantly. But as you exit the these taxes apply setup screen, it calculates this table on the way out. Then, when you actually enter the net, it simply interpolates to get the gross, then does a forward calculation to report all the taxes etc. (By the way, no offence to the others who've replied, but do those spreadsheets etc that you've referred to allow you to enter what taxes apply?

RE: Document scan and retrieval (looking for software)
Title: RE: Document scan and retrieval (looking for software) Could also have the PC that is scanning save to a specific directory. then have a program monitor that directory for new entries, read them, encode them and save them somehow then the saved filename would have be linked into the system. I'm just using pcpaint as an example of a program that might be able to read directly from a scanner and save in .jpg/.bmp format. If volume is high, and a number of scanners are being used, then have one central PC share it's directory and each scanner saves to that directory. Since the directory is shared, you could even have unix system running SAMBA monitor the directory (thus bringing unix into the picture). The only drawback to having unix in the setup is that it is more difficult to have unix bring up IE on a PC. But that could be gotten around if you run a lpr/lpd daemon on the PC which can then take a print job and pass it to a program (ie. RPM www.brooksnet.com). or use a PC with rsh daemon that would allow the unix system to send the launch command to the PC. or even a small custom PERL socketed program on the PC which could listen for a command and launch IE. Depending on the $$ wanted to be spent. I don't think a having the image be a type 1/19 file would be good, unless it's base64 or mimeencoded, as you could have char(255)'s imbedded in the image. George -Original Message-From: Ross Ferris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 4:34 PMTo: U2 Users Discussion ListSubject: RE: Document scan and retrieval (looking for software) You could of course simply save the file into a directory that is also a type 1/19 file to UV - I suppose it depends on the number of images involved, as a directory search will slow down, and yet . Might be interesting to find out WHERE in the business process Stewart was looking at deploying this ? Obviously HOW you approach the problem will vary depending on volumes. If this was for a Proof of Delivery System (PODS), or maybe for incoming invoices/documents the volumes would be quite high, and the process would need to be as efficient as possible. There may be other areas where the volumes are very low (though the value of the image to the business is high), and the relatively small overhead of using PCPaint as you suggest then doing a Save As may not be too great an impost.

RE: using commas in a csv file output
Title: RE: using commas in a csv file output I'm thinking the opposite on this one. It's exporting that's the problem. If you try to save a word table as a csv file, it won't quote any fields that have a comma, so your importing program gets all screwed up. We had a few people that kept their databases as a Word File in a Table, and would export the table. This was on Word 97, so possibly this has been addressed since then. Don't ask why they were using Word for a database. I'd rather not go there again :) Tabs sometimes will be expanded by the importing program (not excel) which might be a reason why commas would need to be used, and of course there is also the reason because whoever wrote the importing program that this csv file needs to go to didn't think about having tabs a possible delimiter.

looking for faster Ideas...
I can't setup any indexs to speed this up. Basically I'm scanning a CSV file for names to remove and set the flag of KICK=1 to remove it (creating a new CSV file at the same time). Keep in mind the .. are people's last names, or zip codes, or part of their address, changed them to .. to protect the unwanting... Right now, I do a series of CASE's ... Now, it's not a major problem as I'm only checking for 20 or so names, but as more and more people request to be removed (and we don't have access to the creation of the list). this could get quite slow over 50 or 60 thousand lines of checking. LIN is one line of the CSV file, the INDEX is checking for a last name a zip code and sometimes part of the address line. Any Ideas? Remember, we can't change the source of the file, it will always be a CSV, being read line by line KICK=0 BEGIN CASE CASE -1 KICK=1 BEGIN CASE CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 AND INDEX(LIN,..,1)#0 CASE -1 KICK=0 END CASE END CASE George Gallen Senior Programmer/Analyst Accounting/Data Division [EMAIL PROTECTED] ph:856.848.1000 Ext 220 SLACK Incorporated - An innovative information, education and management company http://www.slackinc.com ___ u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: looking for faster Ideas...
Title: RE: looking for faster Ideas... Mike, doing what you propose would require a massive file to start with, and would require a crap load of disk reads, which would be far slower then a bunch of cases, and the project isn't worth that kind of investment anyway. But thanks. the source line would look something like "","jon c smith","1234 anywhere st","","","somecity","SS","12345-1254","" I'm looking for "smith" "12345" and sometimes "anywhere" We may get a call from john smith (john not jon because they didn't spell their first name), didn't leave their middle init and didn't give us their 9 digit zip, only 5 digit zip. So I can't build any indexes. Searching for multiple pieces on the same line pretty much gives a fairly good matchup considing the source and match data aren't EXACTLY the same. Any of course, I'm not going to go hog wild in doing this. Creating a temp file, parsing into dynamic arrays loops and lookups...way too much, rather just use PERL to pre-process. -Original Message-From: Mike Rajkowski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 2:41 PMTo: U2 Users Discussion ListSubject: RE: looking for faster Ideas... Create a temp file, and populate it with variations of the name in question (upcase and remove spaces). (Storing address information in each record) Then loop through your list, taking the name, and parsing the various combinations of the words. ( John David Doe - JOHNDOE, DOEJOHN JOHNDAVIDDOE, JOHNDOEDAVID) And attempt to read the item from the temp file, if it can read an item then verify the address information. Otherwise check the next item. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George GallenSent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 12:13 PMTo: 'U2 Users Discussion List'Subject: RE: looking for faster Ideas... in rethinking my take on that. That would still be difficult since the arrays would only contain "parts" of the whole fields. making the searching of the arrays very difficult. We can't store the exact entry, since sometimes people will call and say stop sending me things and not give us the name the same way it's in the database we rent. Basically it takes the renting company a couple months to remove the name, but we like to filter it immediately to stop anything from going out before the renting company removes it, and it also will catch it if the renting company replaces it in a couple months later George -Original Message-From: George Gallen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 2:06 PMTo: 'U2 Users Discussion List'Subject: RE: looking for faster Ideas... I can't just check for names, it has to a name with a specific zip code and if the name is fairly common, we also add in part of the address to make sure no one else is weeded out that shouldn't be.

RE: looking for faster Ideas...
Title: RE: looking for faster Ideas... keep in mind, it's not the renting company that is giveing us the remove infomation, it's the consumer, and of course they never have the mailing piece in their hand. Although usually, if they call, we can get the specific info we are looking for which can change the case to one check. But when the info is mailed in or emailed in or left on a voice mail, that's when we run into not having the best data to go with. Calling/emailing/mailing them back usually just increases the annoyance level on their end, since we are contacting them Again..

Title: RE: looking for faster Ideas... what is it considered if you run the perl program through perl2exe ? Is it compiled then? or still interpreted with a big library?
