NOTE: This is a project being posted by Rent a Coder, and for Rent a Coder's use. To protect you as a coder and prevent a conflict of interest, I am waiving my rights to arbitration as described in your Seller Contract "When Exhedra is a Buyer".

*****************************************************************

This should be a very simple and quick project for someone who has done this before. The entire project is to just do a VB 6.0 (or VB.NET) proof of concept program that does the following simple operations to control a DOS based application.

1) Send keystrokes to the DOS screen

2) Verify that the keystrokes were succesfully sent.

3) Read information from the DOS screen

The method used must be 100% reliable and should NOT rely on the clipboard (i.e. NOT use copy and paste) or SendKeys. That is because this code will be used in an automated program that runs in the background while the user is performing other tasks (making the clipboard and SendKeys useless).

To bid, please simply create a demo .exe (no source code yet please) that proves you can do the above. The winner will be selected and I will then escrow funds to receive the source code. On receipt of the source code (and verifying it meet the requirements) I will release payment from escrow.
