About using MS-DOS

Millions still use MS-DOS every day. These users have state-of-the- art Pentium systems, outfitted with large monitors and up-to-date peripherals. There is a strong demand for MS-DOS based programs that run quickly and reliably on a wide range of hardware. Many MS- DOS power users think a graphical interface is fluff. These DOS users are concerned about using the potential of the hardware and software they already own. These people are more concerned about working within a budget than upgrading their PC's on a weekly basis. The large audience of MS-DOS users focus on technology as a tool, not as a trophy. MS-DOS users prefer to stay in the DOS environment for all their computing needs choosing DOS-based solutions to fill their needs.

The typical MS-DOS user is more interested in getting the job done than they are in flashy graphic user interfaces. MS-DOS users identify and use the best tools for their needs. Most MS-DOS users are not interested in complex bells-and-whistles that are seldom seen or used. MS-DOS users are interested in new technology - as long as it helps them work smarter and faster, all the while staying out of their way. MS-DOS users choose to work in the DOS environment because they find it faster, more responsive and less intrusive than other environments.

MS-DOS applications

Speed is the biggest advantage for MS-DOS application users. These applications also provide flexibility without a lot of overhead since they are full-featured at a lower price. They are more stable, and don't crash the system as often as other types of applications. The operating system itself provides speed at a budget price, and rock-solid stability through years of fine tuning.

Getting results

These MS-DOS based applications provide professional users the accessibility to get the results they require. MS-DOS power users take big advantage of applications that parallel their work patterns and practices.

XPDNC applications are created using MS-DOS database application development software called Paradox 4.0 for DOS as the platform. These applications do not use a mouse. Paradox 4.0 for DOS takes complete control of the system's resources in order to optimize the performance of the application running.

The DOS version is richer than the Window's counterpart could be for the corresponding price and functionality. Typical business accounting applications are character based, not image based. We have found that for people who have been using software since the 1970's, applications that automate incredibly complex office activities are easier to learn and use when cast in MS-DOS versions than as Window's versions. Our target user group consists of people who understand their subject very well. Our products are not designed to teach the user about the job they do. Our products assist the user to do their jobs.
