OLD IDOL-BAS program

[Louis Lam]

I have been a bb developer since 1979 (the old BASIC 4 days)!  Does anybody know how I can get a copy of the old IDOL-BAS that runs in dos or windows?  Thank you in advance for your help!

I still have our Rexon IDOL-BAS/AddOn application running for inquiries.
We wrote a new application in Oracle but still use Tbred with TSOracle
connector for EDI processing directly from our Oracle tables.

I developed an entire EDI mapping and translation system using Open
Workshop. My tables all sit in Oracle. Mostly everything is done with
views and simple connects to other views with 3 or 4 custom screens. I can
test and map in real time with complete access to all data. I can break in
the middle of translating and modify or view the mapping and/or data in my
tables.

This works way better and with way less work than any other EDI translator
I have worked with. And it works directly with my data without having to
generate flat files or xml. We process between 1000-1500 transactions
daily 24/7/365. I can work in Oracle and/or basic as needed and I have the
best of both worlds.

I have no idea why you would still want Idol-BAS. Even updated into the
dictionary and adding views it is just too limited for modern environment.

Dear Michel,

Thank you for your email.  I just need a very simple accounting program to run a small company's book in Hong Kong.  The old IDOL-BAS should work just fine.
