The code was written in classic VB and is currently in the process of being rewritten in .NET.
A VM might be an acceptable workaround, depending on performance. I like the idea. Follow up with Jonathan W. I'm just soliciting interested parties on his behalf. A Quick Note: "One of the biggest problem with getting paid is that there is very little incentive for corporations to pay promptly. Here is a way to make that happen. Raise your rates 25%, and give a 20% discount for prompt payment. Suddenly you are the first person to get paid, not the last. Be very definite of what you consider 'prompt' payment, and don't be shy about billing customers for the balance when they are late. Also, charge a 3% monthly finance charge on late payments. Just make certain that the percentage is legal for your locale." source: http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/matthewmoran/profitable-consulting-cash-flow-strategies-introduction-5943 -- Lars On Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 6:45 PM, Gabriel Gunderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, 2008-07-23 at 08:53 -0600, Lars Rasmussen wrote: >> This windows program needs to be made to function via an emulator for >> a small shop (30 workstations) _or_ ported to Linux. > > Classic VB, Access and IE are all kinda show-stoppers for porting to > Linux (as you know), but I wonder if they will also prevent you from > using Wine.
