Maybe I am over thinking this. I am using an old Dos Pos and Barcode Scanner programs with DOSBox. How do I make them run at same time. The POS needs the barcode software to be running in order to collect the data.
Thank You

Most barcode scanners just act like a keyboard and interpret the barcodes internally.

What barcode scanner is it?

My scanner is a stand alone unit that needs its own program running. It uses BC_WEDGE. I think I might have figured it out. It has been many years that I have used DOS anything and my brain was blank. Its coming back slowly. Thank You
