Based on the above would it be likely that a band of volunteers would be
able to help the stranded "Medtech" users develop and improve the product?
It sounds unlikely, why would anyone volunteer without a strong
motivation, such as money, beer (lots), sex (:-), or other good reason.
The point is that, whoever fixes it, will need to pick up the
telephone calls or emails.
Assuming the new "Medtech" can be untied from its Interbase back end
(this time assuming the basic database structure is close enough to
"good") and plugged into Firebird or another SQL based database, can new
(less dowdy) front ends be developed that would run securely in a browser?
Would this ideally use Ruby on Rails?
In the long run, you might be better off to cut your losses early,
migrate your data to a universal format, choose another software
provider, mount your data and off you go.
Good luck
