$2-8 USD / hour

We have an old program that use to be run on I believe Windows 95, and it's still ticking, lol! It's a real pain in the butt kind of because all commands have to be entered by keyboard. NO mouse functionality. IT also does not open normal in newer versions of windows, not even with compatibility mode. Not sure if there is a way to just convert the program over to something different all together. You can share your thoughts with me.

I am very proficient in c, c++. I have 15 years c++ developing experience now, and I have worked for 5 years. My work is online game developing, and mainly focus on server side, the language is c++ under linux. I used c++ to make many great projects, for example, I made the tools which can convert java files to c++ scripts which has the same effect, of course garbage collection included. I also made our own mobile game using c++, I even can show you the demo of client. Trust me, please let expert help you.

I think you should redeveloped the complete software, because it is too much outdated. It is good to re create something instead of patching it up continuously. Please contact me , I am expert in software development. Right now onedrive server is under some kind of maintenance, I can't check the file you have uploaded. I will check once server is up. thanks

Hello, I'm interested in your project. Judging from the uploaded snapshot, it's a 16-bit DOS application. It's still supposed to run on 32-bit newer Windows versions (at least in theory). You can also try and run it under DOS box or virtual machine- still without a mouse support. I'm afraid, that's all the options available without rewriting the program from scratch. Writhing the program a new requires further evaluation. If interested I can take a look. Sincerely, Serge

Hello, It really looks that you have an "ancient" thing. You mentioned C++ and DOS as an expectations. I think the C++ is not needed, According the information you provided a .NET application would do for this project (VB.NET or C#) using an ORM tool with an SQL backend (which could be MySQL for example). But I need more information for a complete design of course. I'm in the software development business in 20+ years now. I had several database related projects behind me, few of them look similar to this.

Good day! I have an experience of porting a big DOS application which was written in FoxPro to Windows using C++ + QT. The application itself is a government software for employment exchange. It included interactions with multiple DBs. To run this kind of legacy software I have a dedicated workstation with virtual machine server just for this purpose. Basically the porting itself isn't a hard task if the source code provided, therefore I'm sure that we can port your application entirely. Regards, Andrey.

Hello, My name is Nick Theodosiou. I'm an expert .NET VB, C#, SQL developer for over 15 years on desktop applications. I have converted several DOS programs to windows software. Please take a minute to review my message and if you are interested I would be delighted to work with you. These conversions usually take a month or 2 or maybe more depending on the amount of data that has to be inserted/typed back to the new software. What I have in mind for you is a new windows software custom made at your needs to manage your orders. We can discuss further upon agreement for the new software design etc.
