Still, just think how much more flexibility you'd
have gained with a
useful database like PostgreSQL or Oracle... even using COBOL would
have been a cleaner solution.
I used what I had available, which was a BASIC compiler under
MS-DOS, not to mention it was what I already knew. I neve said it
was the best choice! It did work though and it worked better than
the solution that replaced it that came from 'professional'
programmers. Mine was done on the side and was a definate
improvement over what had been used before, which was an archaic
proprietary piece of software that was a royal pain to use, being run
from a mini and accessed by way of a terminal. If it
hadn't been my
BASIC programs giving them the little push, who knows when the
would
have replaced it.
