BBx / BBx2 / MAI packages.

In the 1970's Basic 4 Corporation had the Cadillac of Accounting Packages. In 1983 when PCs finally got hard disks, they converted them to run on PCs. The maximum amount of memory you could use was 256K. Nothing by today's standards. This limitation caused the code to utilize many overlays. Because of that, it was really hard to follow the code. But I can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are Customers for whom  I have Customized MAI Accounting Packages, utilizing BBx and BBx2. I understand the file layouts and their relationships. I also know how to create ASCII (Comma Delimited) text files to convert this old stuff to new files. I do not want to work with this antiquated software, but for $100 per hour I will.

Independent Trailer Services                      Dayton , Ohio

I have a long relationship with this company. They sell, and repair the back ends of 18-wheelers. They’re a Trailways Distributor. They also rent out hundreds of trailers and they also have a bunch of storage garages. Around 15 years ago I installed and customized some MAI accounting software that they have used since. Early in 2000 they ask me to create a new package for them to handle everything.  Using Visual Basic and Access I designed and wrote an Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Invoicing, Sales Commissions, Payroll, Trailer Rental, Storage Garage, and Accounts Payable. This is quite a package. Check out our Web Site to see a preview. We’re now taking the pieces and converting them to Access 2003. VB 2005 will have to wait.

I also wrote some Lotus macros, dBase programs, modified their Windows software, and trained their operators. I have worked on Power Point Slide Shows, including AutoCAD drawings that we animated. I also utilized my Digital Camera to create bmp’s that were also included in training and presentation Power Points. I created 8 hours of PowerPoint based classes (Classes: Windows, Access, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Binder, and Word). Click a button take the class. Neat Stuff! I also created a package to keep track of, and report on, EPA Volatile Organic Compounds Emissions. I interfaced Excel, Access, and Visual Basic; Check out my Web Site to see part of it. Nice Graphs! I also added a dozen computers and a Proxy Server to their network, IP addresses, control panel changes, setting up user names and passwords on their Unix Box.
