Re: Is this as ususal software related?
Big software systems can take a decade to rebuild, I have been here nearly 30 years and each software version environment has a life of around 15 years.
I am still doing daily development on our WIN32 system which was started quite a long time ago, the DOS16 system was developed from mid 90s to mid 2000s, and used up to about 2010. WIN32 version started when we were running on XP.
I started when the current system was CP/M.
I had to write a majority of both the DOS16 and WIN32 systems
