greeting folks,
I've just been hired by a retailer to get his new pos software up and running. The software is terrible. It was built in Visual Foxpro. An older dos version was widely accepted within our industry for many years. In doing some research after the fact, I havent been able to find...
Luckily, I had an inventory item list from Crystal Reports that I had exported as an Excel file before the crash. Crystal Reports was the only thing I used from our aborted Macola 7.0 trial.
I also had a quantity price break list in Excel. I was able to combine these to make a complete item...
Here's the final word: We were unable to ghost a new hard drive. This meant we would have had to reinstall Netware 4.11, Macola 6.2 and Btreive 6.15 on a new DOS server.

OK. I work for a very small, struggling company. We are running Macola 6.2, Btrieve/Pervasive 6.15 and Novell Netware 4.11. The hard drive on the server is junk.
