Loc: the path less trodden

For more years than I care to remember, and certainly over thousands of man-hours, I have enjoyed hacking out equipment maintenance systems. Indeed there have been dark days when this was my only recreation (but we won't dwell on that now)!
I have a program that has all the usual features (plus some unusual ones), but is DOS-based and therefore appears a bit dated to modern eyes. It is stand-alone, single user, but has an ability to access multiple data-sets if required. It was coded in FoxPro 2.6, which was (still is) a very powerful database management language in its day. You can get a flavour of my stuff from the screen shots at this website .
Anyway, the bottom line is that, as part of my clearing-out process, and to make way for new projects, I am willing to pass on copies of this program to anybody who may find it useful. I can include dummy (example) data. If you want, I can also offer source code (so if you can make your own changes if you have FoxPro yourself). I can send this stuff out as an email attachment. If anyone is interested, get in touch through a personal message or email.

I hope all my fans have noticed that I’ve cleaned up the website a bit.

Done, Diego. Hope you can get it all going, and then find some of it useful! Cheers, Geoff

Mornin' Angie,
I was down your way yesterday. I could have called in. Unfortunately, though, it took me four and a half hours to get back to Gloucester due to M25 nightmares (so, what else is new?)! I'll try to get something sorted for you over the coming (wet?) weekend, but I'll need an email address (via PM).
