Where did you come from?
I was sent here by...
Could you tell me how you found this site? I would like to thank any other site that mentions this program. If you could fill in the exact URL (go back to the site, click on the address, Edit/Copy, then paste here) I would appreciate it. If you found it through a search engine could you tell me which one and what text you searched for. This will not transmit your email address. If you wish a reply you must type in your email address.

How I got here.

EMAIL ADDRESS (Optional)

Click to have your email address added to list of registered users.

Which also means you must fill in your email address.

People keep filling out the top box asking for a reply but not typing in their email address.
If you do not fill in your email address I have no way to reply.

Here is a sample post I have been receiving lately from folks that check the box to be included in the list of registered users and later complain that they never receive any information on bug fixes and new features.

Values submitted by the user:
to: 2
subject: POS page
from: daleharris@prodigy.net
from_POS_page: Google search for "free pos software"
email: 
add_email_address_=_yes: on

Yes folks, if you do not type in your email address I have no way to enter it in to the list of registered users. Go figure.

NEW! There is a new 64 bit version of the Grade Book program. It is file compatable with the old version and looks and works just the same. However it will not require DOSBox to run on 64 bit versions of Windows, it will print to the Windows default printer, and can display full screen.

FREE!
Got your attention?
This is a FREE site! There is nothing for sale here. All the software listed here is FREE to download. There are no registration fees. There are no shopping carts. No e-commerce. No place to enter a credit card number. It's the internet the way it used to be. Enjoy.

Welcome. Here are the latest versions of my software. Each program has extensive online help plus CYPHER and HARRIS TEST will print out a user's guide. Cash register has user's guides in text format, Microsoft Word format and there is even an online user's guide. Each program is zipped and will require you to use an unzipping utility before it can be run. If you need unzipping software PKWARE is a good place to get it.

This software is for IBM and compatible computers. Minimum system requirements are 512K memory for Harris Test or Cash Register and 384K for the others, Cash Register will also require a hard drive (25M). That's it! Otherwise these programs will run on ANYTHING!

For the technical minded "anything" means DOS 2.1 or higher, 8088 4.77 mhz processor, monochrome non-graphic monitor, 360K floppy drive, daisy wheel printer. Of course if you have better equipment (and if you do not live under a rock, you do) then the programs will run quicker, better, and have more features. Basically if your computer can do something then this software will use that feature, however if your computer can't do something then this software will still run on your computer it will just not use that feature.

Do you have a Printer connected to a USB port?

But all this software WILL run on your IBM or compatible computer. I spend a huge amount of programming time on features that 99.99% of users will never see. If your computer has no color, no graphics, no screen pages, minimal memory, no hard drive, no speed, no math coprocessor, no Windows, no MMX, no mouse, and no cache, but you can still turn it on, then this stuff will run and with reasonable speed too. On the other hand, if you have any PC built after 1985 then this will be the fastest software that you will ever own. Touch a key and it is already finished.

Downloading

DOWNLOADING
To download a program use your mouse to click on the disk icon. If a window pops up on your screen telling you that you do not have the proper viewer click on the option to "save the file". Harris Test must be run from a directory \TESTER, you must create this directory and then move the file there before unzipping.

Snail Mail

SNAIL MAIL
Don't want to tie up your computer with a download or the download not working? These programs can be sent to you on a disk through the mail. While the programs are free unfortunatly the postage, disks, and mailers are not. There are two possible options... 1. I could spend thousands of dollars a year sending out copies of my programs to anyone who asks, or 2. Anyone who wants my software (and for some reason cannot just download it from here) could send a disk and self addressed stamped envelope to me. I will then copy the program to their disk and use their stamped envelope to mail it back.

If you guessed option #1 then lots of luck.

If you guessed option #2 then click for INSTRUCTIONS.

Bugs

BUGS
This software has no known bugs. The reason for this is that as soon as one is found it is acknowledged and squished. I have a really weird policy. If you tell me about a bug, I will post it on this site, squish it, and then upload the new version for everyone to download.
If YOU find a bug in one of these programs go to the "Bug Fixes" section for that program and see if it is listed. If it is, it has been fixed. Just download the new version and the problem will go away. If it is not listed, send me an email and it will be fixed as soon as possible.
So how often is this neccessary? About once or twice a year total for all the programs on this page. And that's with adding features all the time. These programs are pretty stable. Plus since these are DOS programs you don't have to worry about Windows boo boos even when you run them from Windows. Never ask again, "Who is Gen. Protection Fault and why is he messing with my computer?" [g]

Brochure

BROCHURE
I have received several requests for a brochure of the software that is offered on this site that can be passed out to others. This link will let you read and download a two page synopsis of the descriptions of my software.

NOTE
Even though a minimum age is given for each program this is not children's software. Since you enter the words / texts / questions / etc. into the programs your data will determine to which age level each program will be appropriate. This software is currently being used by preschools, grade schools, high schools, universities, trade schools, corporations, public utilities, military bases, and government agencies. You can use this software to teach everything from ABC's to Anatomy, Ballistics or Computer programming.

Support

SUPPORT
Like everything else on this site support for all the software listed here is free. So if you have any problems, questions, or suggestions about the software on this site just click on the "Educational Software Bulletin Board" link below or the email link at the bottom of this page. Your note will not be answered to some "help desk wonk" but by the actual guy who wrote the software (that would be me) who will be able to actually answer your questions.

Nothing!

NOTHING
I've been getting emails lately asking me to post some more reviews about this software. So now we have an easy way to do it, Click on the "Educational Software Bulletin Board" link below. Your reward, NOTHING, remember everything here is free. This is also a great place to ask a question or make a comment or complaint about the software on this site or any educational software.
