Wanted some confirmation before I ammended the wiki.... Under:
"What kinds of programs will Comet2010 run?"
Programs compiled on a Qantel Computer (16 bit only)
Programs compiled with the IB compiler or the MTB compiler (both 16 and 32 bit flavors).
wanted to ammend this to add:
What Kinds of files will Comet2010 run....
Comet: Keyed, Sequential,Text (16 & 32)
IMAGE (16 only)
finally, are all these statements carried over/valid under Comet2011?
I've uncovered the extent of our QIC programs and will probably have to spread out the transition to 32-bit (since it involves the following):
QIC conversions to IB Source
IMAGE file conversions (got the conversion software tested/audited)
converted QIC/native IB program modifications to remover references to IMAGE files
the main reason for the slippage is that I hadn't realised how many of the QIC programs refer to the IMAGE files... I've got a handle on the IB programs referring to IMAGE files, but not the QIC programs.
My big push is to migrate to running 16-bit Comet2011 on Windows7 workstations with an MS Server 2008 server.
Each file can be a maximum of 1MB in length Uploaded files will be purged from the server on a regular basis.
