This is a vertical-niche app used in small offices (3 - 20 workstations) for order entry, tracking, billing, invoicing. Email, faxing, EDI, bells and whistles. No activeX controls, but it does use wwIPTools.dll and the usual assortment of Win32 calls. The app is almost as old as Fox Software, ported up through Fox to VFox with contributions by Tom Rettig (r.i.p.), Mac Rubel, and a horde of others. I believe it ended up in Kevin McNeish's Mere Mortals. (I'm not the direct maintainer of the app, just called in on a technical consult every year or two.) We'd been hoping this would be a platform for capital improvement, first to a client-server platform like MySQL and then onto a web based app, but the revenue doesn't justify more than the minimal life-support and maintenance. And now Vista support. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
