It (the cash register program) will run on linux under DosEmu, but.... it's 
very slow on this ol' 486 w/ 1 M memory.  I've got an old p120 I've thought 
about using , but this things been sitting here for a long time. It won't be 
long however, because the CMOS battery is giving up. I suspect it is going to 
have to be replaced soon. This may be the only computer that I've gotten my 
moneys worth from. In 1991 it cost $3500.00! ;-)
