Developing Applications for Symbol DOS-based barcode scanners

Anyone had any experience developing DOS applications for the Symbol brand of barcode scanners? I have a friend who runs an Apple Store wanting me to write some custom applications for it.

DOS was a bit before my time - so a better question would be “what can I use to develop applications for DOS?”

    A while ago Borland (now CodeGear) released some of their early software for free. Try searching for BCC and you’ll probably find a link to the Borland C/C++ compiler.

    You might like to program in C, also.

    Where’s your jigger what remembers details between visits, eh?

    If you want to use wireless, the network developer kit might also be useful.
