Modest System Requirements

Any up-to-date Windows-based computer will run our systems perfectly well; machines which are faster and with more memory will do better than than those which are slower or have limited memory, but if you can run a recent version of any of the popular office packages you can run any of our products.

 

Server
  Our systems offer a choice of back-end databases: Visual Foxpro for economy and easy administration, or SQLServer for efficient network utilization.

Visual Foxpro can run on any machine accessible to the network; it is operates as a file-server, not a database server, and so has minimal requirements easily met in most offices and institutions.

  • Windows 95 or better
  • 300MB to 500MB of available hard drive space
  • CD-Rom Drive

SQLServer requires more hard drive space on a dedicated machine (and often a dedicated system administrator), but if you aren't already set up with this for other purposes, you probably don't need it for our systems.

Workstations
  • Windows 98 or better
  • Minimum Screen Resolution: 800 x 600
  • 20MB to 50MB of available hard drive space
  • 128Mb memory

Network
Whether you operate on a Windows-based or Novell network, our systems run as efficiently as possible, with local executables for increased speed and reduced network traffic and automatic updating of all local files to reduce administrative effort and costs.

Supporting Software
If you install the FoxPro version of our system, there is nothing else to buy; all required software is incorporated into the compiled executable or supplied as installable libraries at no extra charge.

For an SQL Server-based system you will need to already have or separately purchase sufficient licenses to meet your needs.

Web Interface
If your hardware configuration includes a web-server with access to the same server used by the desk-top versions of the system, you may wish to take advantage of a web-interface to your system, an optional feature for all of our systems.
