Delphi Components Support NoticeMWA Software has provided and will continue to support its JPEG, GIF and Texting editing components for Delphi/C++Builder 2007 and older. However, recognising that all of our current business is moving rapidly to Linux based systems, we are currently not planning to upgrade internally to later versions of Delphi/C++ Builder and hence make no offers of support for later versions. Our users may wish to note that Delphi 2007 compiled programs appear to work very well under Linux/Wine. Firebired Merge ModulesMWA Software is no longer able to support or provide new versions of the Firebird merge modules. This is because we are no longer active users of Microsoft Windows. All development work is now concentrated on Linux and Linux based applications. Point of Sale and Stock Control SystemMWA Software is pleased to announce that it has successfully delivered an integrated Stock Management, Purchasing and Point of Sale System to Winchester's newest Toy Shop, Childhood's Dream. The system runs on a multi-workstation 64-bit Ubuntu Linux computer, supporting both backend administration terminals and a touch screen based point of sale system, with barcode wands at each terminal. The Firebird RDBMS provides the database engine for the system. The Purchasing, Stock Management and Sales Control clients are written using Delphi 2007 and run on Linux using WINE. The Point of Sale system itself is written in C++ using the GTK framework and developed using the Anjunta IDE. The system is now being extended to support web sales. Page 8 of 8 |
