• DarkOmen problem with low-level file creation

  The company that I work for produces embedded controls. The project that I'm working on now runs on an ARM7 microprocessor.

• Umberto Gatti XP or XPE for POS application

  Hi, Not sure if this is the correct place to post this - apologies if it's not. I'm developing a custom POS application in VB.Net 2.0 for no more than 4 terminals.

Because of the limited number of clients, it would be more expensive to buy t ...Show All
