>>> NOTICE OF SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS CHANGE <<< As you have seen over the last few years, the computer industry has changed significantly. Systems have become faster, hard drives have gotten larger and less expensive, and user expectations of software packages have grown, and Mircosoft Windows has become the operating environment of choice. To effectively compete in the current industry, a software company must now be able to produce and support applications designed for operation under Microsoft Windows. To continue to compete in this market, Millennium Software has begun development of a Windows version of Track-It. To make this change, Millennium Software is rewriting the entire package using the zApp library from Inmark corporation. This library will allow Millennium Software to produce both a Windows and DOS version of the program with the same source code. The resulting products will appear almost identical regardless of the version. What does this mean to you as a user? This rewrite will effect you in two areas, the first being system requirements. At this time, it is estimated that future versions of Track-It will require the following hardware*: Windows Version: * 80286 or higher processor * 2 Meg hard drive space (for installation) * Microsoft Windows 3.0 or higher * DOS 3.3 or higher DOS Version: * 80286 or higher processor * 2 Meg hard drive space (for installation) * DOS 3.3 or higher * 2 MEG free extended memory * EGA or VGA monitor *These hardware requirements may take effect anytime after January 1st, 1994. Secondly, this will mean additional functionality and a new user interface. Both the DOS and Windows version of the program will function identically, have similar user interfaces, and be able to share the same data. During the rewrite process, we will also have the ability to enchance the product with features that were not possible with the current librarys used to develop Track-It. Some of the planned additions to Track-It are: * RMA support * A Service Module * Barcode and label support * Ehanced printer support * Additional reports * Much more.... A release date is not yet scheduled for the release of version 4.0.
