Hi Gang!

I am being tasked with implementing a brand new interface between our old POS software and a new Pharmacy program.

The Pharmacy program will be the client sending data over to the POS regularly and sometimes query info from the POS system.

The POS system will behave as a Server, responding to the Client Pharmacy program.


The Pharmacy Client will connect to our POS and maintain the connection. If dropped, it will try to reconnect to the POS.


We have SOCKETOOLS and SOCKETWRENCH from Catalyst Software https://sockettools.com/ for developing Client / Server systems.


I've written many Client's using Socketools and VFP, but never a Server from scratch.

Any ideas ? or suggestions ?

Thanks
Tommy
