HaHa! I still use the Cardfile program that came with Win 3.1. Believe it or not it works fine on XP.

That’s kind of funny. There are so many apps that don’t work well with the never ending newer versions of windows. However, I was at one of our plants in Maryland recently, talking to the line manager. My eyes keep drifting to some charts and graphs on his desk. I finally can’t take it anymore and pick the reports up. Turns out they were reports generated from a program I had written for Windows 3.1 in 1993 in Borland Turbo C, while I was an engineer at a remote plant in Nevada. I was stunned, as it was running just dandy on windows 7. It was written in the days of dot matrix printers, and the charts and graphs were crisp and perfect printed on modern color printers. I have no idea where they got the program.

I’ve been looking for that.
What is the name of the executable?
What is the default name of the datafile? Actually, I’m more interested in the extension since I know my wife renamed the DB part of it.

Thank you,
