Ooops, I forgot that multi-user DOS software isn't part of the
package. Know what I was thinking of? If I remember right, a
version of windows 6.5 is provided so that DOS forms/reports can
be converted to 6.5 windows first and then come into 7.6/9.0. So
for some reason I assumed that DOS 6.5 would also be provided...
My bad...
So the user is first going to have to upgrade their DOS version up
to 7.6 multi-user, pay me to clean up their very sloppy coding because
I doubt their code will work in 7.6. (Loaded with lines like:
vcount = .vcount + .v2, with no "set var", no parens) And then buy an
upgrade to windows... I'll have to price that out for them. They are a
tiny
manufacturing shop struggling to stay afloat...
