I think you get the error message:
Configuration file is corrupted.
when the program starts?

It normally means that you configuration file is damaged. In fact
ARPOS v2.1 uses the same format of configuration file as v2.0. So it
should not be a problem of v2.1.

Please send you default.cfg file located in the installation folder to
support@abacre.com

No, I don't get error message: Configuration file corrupted. I get C:\Program files Abacre Restaurant Point of Sale 21\arpos.exe in the top of dialog box and "File Corrputed" in information area with "!" Icon. by the way I am sending you a screen shot of error dialog box.

Yes.

It normally means that you configuration file is damaged. In fact
ARPOS v2.1 uses the same format of configuration file as v2.0. So it
should not be a problem of v2.1.


I didn't use any version of your software before so I don't know what is the format of your configuration. Thats why I askd if I can get any previous version of your software.

We verified: the message "File corrupted" means that arpos.exe file is
damaged. The best solution is to uninstall the software and then
download the official version from the following location:
http://www.abacre.com/download/arpos.zip
We also verified the arpos.exe file inside this version is not damaged.
Maybe you have other third-party software installed on your computer
that damaged the file.

It's pretty easy.

1. Go to C:\Program Files\Abacre Restaurant Point of Sale 2\Language

2. Create a copy of English.lng file.
For example, English2.lng

3. Open English2.lng file with any text editor, for example, Notepad.
Or use professional search and replace software as our own product:
Advanced Find and Replace. Normally you should use "Whole Words Only"
mode with replace or batch replace operation.

4. Then you have to replace waitress by waiter
and hostess by host. It's better if you do a "Case Sensitive" replace:
so you should also replace Waitress by Waiter
and Hostess by Host.

5. In the same English2.lng file change also LanguageName=English
into LanguageName=English2.

6. Save English2.lng file.

7. Start Abacre Restaurant Point of Sale.

8. Go to main menu - View - Language...
and select English2 from the list.

That's all.

The same way you can also customize [url=http://www.abacre.com/translate.htm]other labels and captions inside
the program[/url].

Maybe a good solution is to create a new menu item
"Half of Chiken Steam Roast". And set price for this item: 110.00

For front-end (interface) we use Borland Delphi (the language is
Object Pascal) and database engine is Microsoft Access.
