In a contract
with Marsh Supermarkets, SE ported Videmation 4.0 (our video
store rental management system) to a UNIX operating system,
and designed and wrote drivers for accessing cash drawers and
printers directly from store terminals. Solutions Engineering
also designed and wrote the Central Office Management Facility
(COMF) and all interfaces and hooks in Videmation 4.0 for communicating
with the COMF; and performed several customizations after delivery.
The COMF provided the distributed database communications and
continuity services required for a central office to maintain
a virtual presence in every store of the chain without having
to connect to any store. All communications were completely
automatic. The central office could run very high level summary
reports, or focus down to the level of the individual transaction.
All components and drivers were written in ANSI standard C for
high portability and durability. |
