I have an area, where there are two programs that can be run by the same person in our Factories.
We are in manufacturing of shoes, one program prints out Bar code shoe box labels with a Datamax Prodigy Plus.
The other puts a Case Label on the box when they pack it out of production to ship to warehouse.
One uses two printers, the other only one. So I need it to share the ports.
Im using Clipper 5.2e for Dos. I'd like to run both programs in Windows 98 SE in two different windows. Where they can just alt tab over to the next.
What code do I need to use to free those ports.
I use FOPEN and FCLOSE to write to these ports in binary mode. In one area, where I use a Tricoder, I use SilverClip Lib for my com port open and close.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
