proficient in vb6, c++, c# java, I expect that is enough ... right?

Rather write it myself, but I just need some sample code or some kind of idea of how it works.

Basically, at this point I just need an idea so that I will know if I should take on this project or not.

Oh and as for the register hardware I can tell you what most Target stores use:

466mhz AMD K6-2
128MB SDRAM
Quantum Fireball HDD
Windows NT
10BaseT token ring network
