DOS Programme to txt file

I use "DOS Box 0.74". it opens a dos window that you can run paradox in. Its FREE and works great, even in full window mode. Only issue I had was I toggle to DOS occasionally to clean up txt files and DOS Box has limited DOS commands.

Book Shop Management System
Introduction
BookMart is a book shop selling all varieties of books. It needs a console based application to manage its customer and business data.
Registration
Customers need to register before making any purchase. The registration system has the facility for the users to create their own user name and password. They can use the same for further communication with the system.

The user id and password should be stored in a file named “login.txt”.

The application should display the main menu as shown below

1. Login
2. New User Registration
0. Exit

Option 1: Login

If the user enters the option as 1, the user should be prompted to enter user id and password.

If the user has entered a valid user id and password, the message “Login Successful” should be displayed and the below menu options should be displayed.

1. View Books
2. Purchase
3. Back to Main Menu

If the user id and password does not match, then the message “Login Failed” should be displayed and the main menu should be displayed again.

Option 2: New User Registration

If the user enters the option as 2, the user should be prompted to enter a new user id and password. If that user id is not present in the “login.txt” file, the new details should be written to the file and the message “User Successfully Registered” should be printed else the message “Duplicate User ID” should be printed.

Option 0: Exit

If the user enters 0, the application should exit.
View Books
The book details should be maintained in a file named “book_master.txt”. The data should be stored as shown below.

Book ID ISBN Name Price Publisher

Rename and Reinstall the Vbe6.dll File

NOTE: You need your Office CD-ROM to complete this task.

1. Quit all currently open programs.
2. Start an MS-DOS prompt in a window by doing one of the following:
   • Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 98: Click Start, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt.
   • Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me): Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click MS-DOS Prompt.
   • Microsoft Windows NT 4.0: Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Command Prompt.
   • Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP: Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
3. To change the directory to the location of the Vbe6.dll file, type one of the following (including the quotation marks), and then press ENTER: CD "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Vba\Vba6"-or- CD progra~1\Common~1\Micros~1\Vba\Vba6NOTE: This is the default directory for the Vbe6.dll file. If you installed Microsoft Office into another drive or directory, you must type its path.
4. To unregister the Vbe6.dll file, type the following.
   
   In Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me, type: C:\Windows\System\REGSVR32 /U VBE6.DLLIn Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, type: REGSVR32 /U VBE6.DLL-or- C:\Winnt\System32\REGSVR32 /U VBE6.DLLNOTE: This is the default directory for the Windows System directory.

   The Windows Installer detects that the Vbe6.dll file is missing on the system, installs the file from the Office CD, and registers it again.

I don't believe there is such a utility.

However, in looking for a POS solution, to your question, I was directed to this page (a special phone number for Intuit Data Recovery Services):

My research said that this article applies to POS just as it does to the regular product (even though this page does not specify that it relates to POS).

Step 1 - Download and install the Windows based HP USB Disk Format Tool. For your convenience, you can download it from HERE.
Step 2 - Download the Windows 98 system files from HERE. This is a zip file that contains all of the system files that you will need. Create a new folder and extract these files into the folder that you just created. Make sure that you preserve the directory structure.
Step 3 - Insert the USB Memory Key into the USB port of your computer.
NOTE: Make sure that the lock/unlock switch (if present) is set to the unlock position. USB MEM KEY 1
Step 4 - Launch the HP format tool program.
Under the device drop down list, make sure that the USB memory key is selected. USB MEM KEY 2 Step 5 - Under the file system drop down list, select FAT32. This is important to do correctly. USB MEM KEY 3
Step 6 - Check the box next to Create a DOS startup disk.
Select "using DOS system files located at:
Then click on the square box with 3 dots on it. USB MEM KEY 4 Step 7 - Browse to the folder that you extracted the Win98 system files and then click on the OK button. USB MEM KEY 5 Step 8 - Now click the Start button. USB MEM KEY 6 Step 9 - You will receive a warning message. Make sure you have the USB memory key selected. If you are sure, then click the Yes button. USB MEM KEY 7
Step 10 - Your USB memory key is now being formated and the DOS system files will be copied onto it.
Once the program has completed the operation, click on the Close button.
You now have a bootable USB memory key. USB MEM KEY 8 On the USB memory key, you will see these files. These are the basic Win98 system files. USB MEM KEY 9

your printer paper size shorter than your PC dos-program print size setting, example: if use a letter size paper to print a A4 size file which should occur two paper go out..
so you need check your PC print setting or take a presetting paper size, make a size match between PC program and paper in printer .
hope you fix it, please take a rating let me know how much helped you thanks!

The printer can't handle the data it received and flush it out of its buffer. Goto Menu->Settings->Postscript Settings and turn "Print PostScript Erro" on. When the same print job prints, you should get a page printed out telling you what the printer doesn't like. You may also want to try forcing the printer into Postscript mode. Your PS file probably contains a PJL to set the device to PS mode before it prints. When the printer expects PCL data and received PS data(or vise versa), you can get this behaviour

The best way to do this is to use Visual C++ or .NET's C# and use an image object to hold the binary image data as you address/manipulate it. If you are doing this as a web-based application, then ASP.NET using C# is the way to go, again using an image object. 
There are many helpful developer site for the beginner through expert that can walk you through the use of an image object. There are also many variants of the image object and you'll have to decide which one best suits your needs. Start with the generic one to get your base code loading and addressing the image and go from there.
Here's a good starting point.
Hope this helps.

check your command options by typing copy /?.  I don't have access to dos anymore, but it should provide you with some solutions.  I don't think dos can extract files like a zip program.  I will need some time to think about possible solutions.  Did your original files all go into this new file?  You then lost the originals as a result?

well..that EOJ line, is possibly farther down in the program settings, and is like a page break. the Dell is only doing what it's reading, so the answer is in the programming of the application. Perhaps you might query that company about how well that program interfaces with the Postscript quality printer you have?
