+Information and scripts to get the <in>famous DH POS working on gnu/linux systems.
+
+The main project is written by Dale Harris and he provides a
+free (as in BEER) POS (point-of-sale) system written in basic.
+
+The goal of this repository is to keep track of tips and tricks for 
+getting it to work on gnu/linux systems. 
+
+This is primarily going to be geared towards Ubuntu/Debian as that is the  
+family of distros I am mostly familiar with.
+
+Step 1.
+Install your base distro.
+
+Step 2. 
+Install your pre-requisites.
+You will need to install the following packages. 
+> inotify-tools dosbox wine cups
+
+To test this configuration with a pdf printer you will also need to install:
+> cups-pdf
+
+Step 3.
+Download DH POS software from keyhut.com
+
+Step 4. 
+Download inotprint.sh script from this repository.
+
+Step 5. 
+Start DOSBOX 
+> dosbox pos71j.exe
+
+Step 6. 
+Set up printer for the script.
+
+Step 7.
+Set up your register settings.
+
+Step 8.
+Make a sale.
+
+Step 9. 
+Profit!!
