For Windows 98 users, if you have the Retail Power Sales
screen, the "Retail POS Pointer" will not work properly, unless you create a
batch file on your windows desktop, here's how:
Right click on your Retail Power POS icon, select
"Properties" , select the "program" tab and make note of the Command Line. (ie.
c:\retail~1\qs1.bat) . The
command line has 3 segments: (These may differ from this example for
your installation.)
"C:\" is the "drive location"
"retail~1" is the "folder"
"\qs1.bat" is the "program name".
Go to "Start", "Run", type "Command" and click OK. On
the Black Screen type EDIT GOQS.BAT and hit <enter>. On the Blue screen type "cd\folder"
(replace with your folder from above), hit <enter> on the second line type "
call program name" (replace program name with your program name from above),
hit <enter> on the third line type "exit". The contents should look like this:
cd\retail~1
call qs1.bat
exit
Hit <alt-F>, then select "save", then hit <alt-X>. At
the black screen type exit.
Now, start the New, Retail Power beta, Go to "System
Setup", "Setup", "Retail POS Pointer" and browse to your desktop, where it
says "filename" type "*.bat" hit <Enter> select the "GOQS" file and click
"open", then click "Update".
