Legacy Software

	Do you have an old programme which you would like to convert to a Windows programme.? Virtually without exception, the development languages used to write these legacy programs, and the operating platforms they are designed to run on, are no longer supported.This prevents any new patches being produced to handle modern hardware or to benefit from new technology. Developers able to support these systems also become few and far between. Do not let yourself get trapped forever trying to extend an application on a piece-meal basis each such extension will mean your system is more difficult to support and more unstable. Eventually it WILL fail. Even the best database software will not last forever. Take action to update now in an orderly manner before you are forced to by operational problems. Gain the benefits of modern software, integrate your application and enhance its scope. Lack of action now could spell disaster in the future
	DOS based DOS based programmes WILL run into problems because future technology WILL STOP supporting them. Some printer manufacturers have already stopped DOS support so even today care must be taken when purchasing hardware which means as time goes by more and more companies will follow. (Today you are unable to connect to your printer using USB) Microsoft may also discontinue DOS support so in addition to not being able to print, the program will NOT run at all.! The good news is that with dBASE much of your detailed code and all your data tables can be retained and used within the latest software running with all the elegance of modern 32bit Windows dBASE If you have a DOS programme there is an EXCELLENT chance it may have been created using dBASE.; If this is the case the conversion into a 21st century 32bit Windows programme could be accomplished very quickly and easily.
	16 bit Are you using early Windows based dBASE, (under dBASE 5.5?); Your system performance will be severely limited and you are missing many of the benefits of full modern 32bit Windows dBASE
	FoxPro, Clipper, Paradox, Access 2/97, etc.. You may be pleasantly surprised how readily we can interface to these and other data tables, use the best parts of your old applications as a template and build a modern system.
	Your new 32bit Windows system can incorporate all the advantages of modern Windows interfaces, integrated communication and Intranet facilities; powerful and flexible report generation and a host of other benefits.; Best of all you will have a robust system that your business can depend on for many years to come.
