Many vendors
have taken a shortcut to the Windows environment by
converting old DOS programs to give them a Windows “look
and feel” while remaining essentially the same
menu-driven programs underneath. The Broker’s
Workstation is a true 32 bit Windows program. All modules
are designed from the ground up for the speed, stability
and security of the Windows 2003/XP/Vista operating
systems. The Broker’s Workstation is written in
Visual Basic 6 on MS SQL Server 2005 or MS Access.
The Broker’s Workstation will operate using the
Minimum Requirements if using existing hardware or upgrading
hardware components. If you are purchasing new hardware,
please refer to the Recommended column. |
