Cachet (London) Ltd
contacted me to enquire whether I could maintain an old database system they use.
This system uses DbaseIII data tables and a compiled Clipper application.
Having had many years of experience working with DbaseIII and Clipper in a MS DOS environment I was able to help.
The maintenance of this system provides many challenges as operating systems evolve, in particular concerning the mapping of printers across a modern network to operate with this legacy MS DOS system.

Cachet (London) Ltd is a Fashion Jewellery Company and we have an old Clipper order processing system that was written for us many years ago when dinosaurs roamed the earth. It's old but reliable and we needed someone who had the experience of these old technologies to enhance and maintain it for us as the original suppliers disappeared some time ago.
I found Dennis with a Google search and he has been invaluable, without him we would have had to had a whole new system written at a substantial cost, however now as long as Microsoft continue to allow Dbase and Clipper to operate we are OK.
Friendly, helpful, responsive. Not very often that you get all those words in one sentence.
