This excuse is perfectly ridiculous. If you are paying a vendor $15,000 and they can't provide you with a modern method of program installation you are working with a bad vendor. I wonder what other atrocious things that are doing to you. Any small failure in this old hardware could put you in a situation of being locked out of this software. Letting such a situation persist is not good management. >I need foxpro. the version I have is on a floppy. it does not transfer >and load with a dvd. No you don't need FoxPro. >my payroll program wants to see the old payroll program to ug. old is on >a floppy. This gets worse and worse. Your business is hanging by a thread. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
