Hi Mike,

Its great to hear from you! and Thanks for the reply!

I'm still collecting information on this request, but looks like they might be using straight windx/nomads panel for the interface instead of inomads and a browser.

I'll update this tread as information comes in.

Thanks,
Chris Budney

Hello everyone!

I was just wondering if anyone has used any voice to text software integrated to pxplus?  Or any of the voice to text devices out there for PO Receiving/Picking in the warehouse?  If so, could you share your information of hardware/software you used?

Thanks,
Chris Budney

Hello everyone,

Recently we found out that smsmatrix is no longer processing text messages and may not be able to resolve their issues with their Telco partner.  Has anyone else used any of the other providers?  I was using eztext in the beginning but they changed their policy of pay as you go and I am looking to do some quick testing of my application without purchasing an annual plan or a $25/month plan.

thanks for any help in advance!

Hi Mike,

any new update on this subject?  I have an Android Scanner project in motion right now and would be great if there was another way other than telnet to access the pxplus apps and data on a RHE Linux.

Thanks,
Chris Budney

Hello everyone!

Has anyone used any of the newer Android based RF Bar Code Scanners to connect into a linux based system via telnet?

Thanks in advance!

Hi


I migrated an hospitality software from Tbred 8.3 to ProvideX 4.01 in 1998.
At that time, the migration tool was creating a big bundle text file with all your programs and data files (depending on the directory devices you had selected for migration)
You then moved this big ass file to the target environment / system and used the unbundle tool to recreate programs and files in ProvideX format.
Almost all incompatibilities were addressed by the conversion tool, and fixing those that remained only took hours (do not have the details, as it has been 23 years). Even if you were using the Tbred « Windowing » system which we did not, and is quite different from ProvideX windows and dialogue controls, the conversion tool was modifying your code to call emulation routines provided by ProvideX.
During the transition period, you can use the various emulation modes provided by ProvideX (such as the Tbred FID() format, the windowing emulation, etc...) but it is then recommended to change your code to move and stick to the ProvideX standards and conventions. Who would want to migrate to another BB once under ProvideX anyway ?

Hope this helps

Hi Stephane,

thanks for the reply.  I had to do the some of the old hospitality conversion for MAI back in early 2000... I have one that was on T/OS and had to convert that bbx... one I had to take it from openbasic - thoroughbred - and then to bbx in one weekend... and clean up all the code... lol... it was a no sleep weekend!  I'm not sure yet if the prospect is using any of the idol features... I am doing a discovery session with them later this week.

Thanks for your help!

Chris

There is a tbred conversion folder at *conv.tbd.  It has been about 20 years since I did one of these, and I do not remember any of the steps.  I just quickly looked in the folder, but did not see a documentation file - but all the programs that you should need are there.  Maybe the documentation is somewhere else - I just don't remember.

Thanks Neil!  I was looking over the documentation yesterday... there is a lot in the pxplus help under conversions as well.

Hello everyone!

I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy and safe!

I am reviewing a prospect for a migration from tbred 8.4.1.  Has anyone done one of these and have any words of wisdom? 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks James!!!

I wasn't looking at it the right way!!!!

Hello everyone.  Happy Holidays to you all!

I have a customer that we have recently migrated from old environment to pxplus 2018.  They use programmable function keys a lot.   

How would I set a function key like F8 to have a response like Y+'CR'+"N"+'CR'+"HAPPY HOLIDAYS!"+'CR'+'CR'+"PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE!" .... you pretty much get the idea.

Normally I would do something like this for a short response:

PUT FOLLOWING LINE IN STARTUP OR MENU PROGRAM:
DEFCTL (0)$000077$=-60 ! $000077$ is F8

CREATE PROGRAM IN PATH  $CTL-60
0010 REM $CTL-60 - SET 8 TO RELEAS
0020 PREINPUT NEXT "RELEASE"


But I'm not sure how I would get some many responses in one line.  They used to use Facetwin and program the keys a few times a month.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hello everyone,

Has anyone ever migrated a customer using the old bwu utility set from bbx for apache under sco to RHE Linux?  Is there an easy way to pass data back and forth to apache?

Thanks for your replies in advance!
