Hey guys,
I dont know if this goes in here or if it goes in Networking?
I have a problem to solve, or at least try to.
At my work, we use a small dos based program. This software cannot, and WILL not be replaced!
It runs on 32bit system. With 32bit being pushed a side we need to find a way to run this software. Dosbox will run it, but will not run the printer scripts, i have spent many hours trying to get it to work without any luck!
I was recently speakings to my father in law, and he works with Networking and such.
He mentioned that we should consider terminal software, or virtualizing software. So that we launch the software on the server, but it opens in a window on the desktop pc that the users are sitting at. We have domain based system with Small business server 2003, which will also not be replaced.
I know many of you will say, update, get newer and so on, but i really want to make this clear right now, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN!
My father in law, said this software is out there, but he could not remember who made it, or what i needed to search for.
Does anyone here have any ideas as to where i can start my search?
We currently run Windows 7 32bit pro, and are able to launch it in windows from network path, but we are looking into Surface Pro tablets with 64bit, plus we have a few 64bit machines, so its becoming a need to find this software. I have been told its out there, please help me find it.
I was told there are free versions and pay versions, if it works like we need it, paying for the software is not an issue.
