As Software Engineer, I used various libraries including the Kofax KIPP
Turbo C libraries, to develop imaging utilities
that operated on
IBM PC compatibles, under the MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows 3.1
operating systems. I also used Microsoft Visual Basic to develop user interface
prototypes.
Q-Data and Micrografix - Johannesburg, South Africa

imaging software, run under Windows with a Btrieve database. Utilised Borland C++

Mobex - Sydney, Australia
[1995]
Interfaced an
ARCNET server that communicated with the
TK range of Casio Cash
Registers (Point of Sale), to a Hotel Front Desk system. The RS-232 interface
required development of a comprehensive communications protocol, with fail-safe
hand-shake type messaging and periodic watchdog to ensure quality of communication.
The product, called "VHS" (Versatile Hospitality System) was promoted internationally
by Casio (Japan) and was installed in various countries around the world.
