TM POS Software

TM is the POS product marketed by Touchmenus prior to the development of Touchnet.  It does not use Lantastic but runs in a master/slave configuration communicating through Com ports.  Data is kept on the floppy disk in the workstation drive.  Because the disk is continually accessed it needs to be replaced periodically.  Touchmenus supplies disks at no charge.  Menu changes can only be made by Touchmenus. As this is an obsolete product, the Customer Support Department can only provide minimal support.  Hardware is custom for each location.
Floppy Disk Creation

  1. Create a formatted system disk.
  2. Copy all files from the MIN.DIR (N:TMMIN)- those would be:
                                  TMCONFIG.TMD
                                  TMFORMAT.TMD
                                  TMMENU.TMD
                                  TMPAGE.TMD
                                  TMTEXT.TMD
                                  TMTIBIT.TMD
          to the formatted system disk.
  3. Next copy the files from the appropriate application and node  (ie N:TMGENESSAT2) to the formatted disk.
            These files would be:
                                  AUTOEXEC.BAT
                                  MIDSTART.EXE
                                  MIDTSR.EXE
                                  TM.EXE
                                  MID2.MCF
                                  MID6.MCF
                                  MID6_MIN.MCF
                                  CONFIG.SYS
                                  HIMEM.SYS
                                  RAMDRIVE.SYS
