I still have a couple of clients using an accounting package I sold the first version 1.0 copy of in 1988. Thank gods for DOSBOX, is all I can say.

- nolok 13y agoDo you still provide official support for that dos version ? Microsoft is not saying you can't use XP anymore, they say they don't support it.
- etfb 13y agoYes - to all three customers. Accountants don't like change.
- noinsight 13y agoThat's nothing, I know a company that uses a 16-bit DOS program from like 1985 or so to do their pricing. Mind boggling, since it even gives the prices in the wrong currency (as in not Euros but a currency that went out of use in 2001)... You would also think inflation changes the prices...
- etfb 13y agoDo airline booking agencies still use that weird mainframe-like program for all their bookings? I heard it was impossible to replace because you'd need to switch the old one off, and there's never a moment when there's not thousands of planes in the air.
