GoKawiilHacker News thread seeks users still running legacy DOS business systems
An Ask HN post asks whether anyone still relies on DOS-era software like dBase, Clipper, CLARION or Paradox, or industrial equipment controlled via ISA cards or parallel-port dongles, to run real business processes. The poster says they are researching an idea for keeping such systems running on modern hardware and invites people to share experiences via comments or email.
