     Known problems and/or restriction:

  1. When I print a document with Wordpad and set the margins with "Page setup" it works correctly. When I do this with CashRegister it does not seem to work.

    The problem is that Wordpad uses Inches and Cashregister uses millimeters for the margins. 1 Inch is 256 millimeters, thus a big difference in interpretation of entered margin values. You can correct this by customizing the correct measurement system. Via the "Control Panel" select "Regional and Language Options". Push on Tab "Regional Options" button "Customize". A new window "Customize Regional Options" pops up. Select on Tab "Numbers" the metric measurement system.

  2. Take a look at the tricks. Maybe its in there.

     Future features:

  1. edit function for pricelist.csv ?
  2. generate journal reports in txt format per day or month
  3. cashregister runnning on several computers in a network
    Only usefull for keeping track of the stock and/or
    centrallizing all information when using more then one Cashregister.
    download a simple test program if you understand networks + client/server and
    when the tricks provide enough information.
