Subject: REQUEST FOR OS/2 PROGRAMMER

Hi Terry,

I came across your name as a contact from the OS/2 Programming SIG on the
SCOUG website.

We currently are bidding on a project and may have a need for an OS/2
Programmer that has good knowledge of the COM (serial I/O) and keyboard
routines within the OS/2 API.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
------------------------------
Replace a small "hand-swipe" scanner that reads the bottom of a bill stub
and then populates an input field on an OS/2 PM application. The current
solution is done via a hardware wedge connected to the keyboard. The current
application does not interact with the scanner since the data comes from the
keyboard wedge. The proposed replacement scanner does not function with a
hardware wedge so a program needs to be written that can perform the same
function as hardware wedge but in software to act as a "software wedge". The
small document scanner is a serial 9-pin scanner and is program controlled
via the serial interface (no DLL's) by sending command sequences to the
scanner.

We would like to find someone in Orange County or Los Angeles County that
can perform the following function:

OS/2 DEVELOPMENT
-------------------------
Develop an OS/2 PM utility application in C, C++, or REXX (don't know if is
it possible in REXX) that can control (poll) the scanner via a COM port
(serial I/O) and populate the keyboard buffer with the data read from scan
line of a bill stub. All scanner functions are built-in along with an OCR-A
font recognition engine. This scanner is fully programmable via the serial
interface with no need for additional DLL's.

Please forward this to anyone that would be interested, I can give more
details offline.

I can be reached by email at frank@msolve.com or by phone at 949-640-2128.

Thank you,
Frank Lezaja
