We have done away wiith the dreaded [ADD TO TICKET] button in the main window because
our customer base hasa insisted on it! We give our customers what they want (usually!)
with friendly smiling faces... OK I made that part up about the smiling... but if
they have a good request or want a feature added and we think it would be good for
the program... we put it in!
The purchase/Download page will be up by MONDAY 8 NOVEMBER 2010. If you have already
purchased v7 your upgrade is as simple as downloading the program from THIS site,
BACKING UP your data files, and then running install. If you are unclear how to
do this please do not hesitate to use the call us feature onn the contact page.
I was transferring some of my last aarchive files off some 5 1/4 inch floppies before
I chunked them and I found a BMP or our original Blue Mesa CASH REGISTER program
written in the (then) Brand New Quickbasic 4.5.
It was a simple affair... each item was considered a SINGLE and (later) you could
modify the number of items... you typed in the price or one of 3 letters and hit
enter... It outputted each line to your 8 pin line printer, Thems was the days!
HP POS Issue:
We have been told that the HP POS System printer prints the CONTROL A that we send
to the printer to POP the CASH DRAWER... This makes us sad!

Absolutely cannot comprehend why it would do that
but we have whipped up a little test application to try on your HP POS system. (Anyone
else NOT using an HP POS Printer can try it too!) App is available for download:
About 19kb that unzips to less than 35kb (yes I write tidy code!)
Unzip it on to your POS and turn on the POS Printer making sure the cash drawer
is attached. There are 4 buttons to try to pop the drawer. Please email our SUPPORT
or SALES from the contact page if one of them works for you!
Several people have asked for a utility to convert their Blue Mesa rPOS MENU.mdb
files from versions EARLIER than 7 up to 7 to take advantage of all the new features
and maintain their setup. We have released the DB_MASH7.zip program... small and
only needs to be unzipped in to the BM POS AIO directory (can be used with the Client
/ Server setup as well!) and the old menu database (pre version 7) renamed OLDMENU.mdb
then run 1 time!
download from:
About 11kb that unzips to less than 23kb (yes I write tidy code!)
The BIG news here at Blue Mesa Software is OUR COMPANY TRADEMARK! We have finally
been awarded by the USPTO the TRADEMARK of
Blue Mesa Software ™
This is a large part of our company rebranding and LLC. Good news for the future!
This will open in a new window!
Oh no I can't view your page on my iPhone!?!?!!!
NO!
We have nothing against the iPhone... when it gets more un-Vista like we
might even get one...
But we are focusing on our SOFTWARE on these pages
more than our HARDWARE (we will continue to sell that on eBay and uBid!
The
concept of the page is pretty simple. There is FREEWARE and TRYITBEFOREware
and since we are apparently in the business of being generous. We offer you a line
of FREEWARE with more features and controls and things like inventory control and
the ability to use POS printers or whatnot. And a small line of TRYITBEFOREware
which has very cheap Pricing (after all... I have to make mortgage payments too!)
So feel free to click around. You can write to us on the CONTACT page or
from any of our question links.
If you do click a CONTACT lin your own email
will open to allow you to write the question, comment, or FYI you have for us. Don't
forget to click the SEND button in your email or we might never get it.
