Whoever posted or proofed this is not a native English speaker. Or it's a translation program gone rogue.
We don't know if it is bad or good news that LegEasy 4DOS not only run in Windows 7/8/10 x64 but that it also need a modern network infrastructure.

Some of us had to convert data from that delightful system, used by some of the largest government systems at the time. So slow on their Novell network that users used to take copies of the 'database' onto their local machines. The joy of working out which data was actually the latest, or the closest, or even usable.
It was one of three choices for storing data - Oracle, Access or DataEase.
I'm getting a headache just recalling it.

Yup, even though I'm sitting on the bank of a swimming pool up in the mountains above Salerno in roughly 37C, the recollection of that period sends a chill down my spine (which is turning bright read) :pinch:

I don't think that a translation program would make mistakes like this. Though now I'm off for a coffee, so that I can get my head up for the day. Because I can the performance.

I'm glad to hear that you "can the performance". Did you use a boiling water canner or a pressure cooker? You know, if you have canned performance, you might be able to sell that to people who need more. :hehe:

DOS?
I mean, seriously?
DOS?
Not even going with "command line" or "shell" or anything even remotely WITHIN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS modern.
DOS?
I really don't know which is more appropriate, pointing and laughing or weeping openly.

I just read a post on another site which suggested using a 'carrot' as a column delimiter, rather than a comma.
Took me a moment to realise that the writer intended this character (^), though a carrot would certainly be a solid way of breaking up data.

The author of the post should have used 'carat' instead of 'carrot'... unless he meant using the vegetable as a delimiter, in which case a stalk of celery is my preference.

An onion would be pretty cool - then you could split the delimiter based on the petals. I don't know how we'd do that with a single-byte onion, unless the onion is a multi-byte character. :hehe:

It's actually a 'Caret', unless you're designing jewelry. 😀

Do you guys have any advice on how to improve my stats for my blog?
Is it quality over quantity? Or should I be aiming for X number of article per month? I would really like to write stuff where I know people are actually reading it.........
Any advice is much appreciated - thanks.

Publish as regularly as possible. It doesn't have to be on a set schedule, but it needs to be fairly consistent. I go for 4 a month, minimum, one per week. More is OK, but less isn't. You want people to expect content. Plus, new content improves your search results.
Other than that, I'm trying to improve my own stats and not much is working.
I tweet when a blog post goes up, and then again 2-3 days later. I also post to facebook, linkedin, pinterest and tumblr automated through If This Then That.
That's about it.

IMO, just alternate between them.
Skype now has a (cwl) emoticon for crying while laughing. Seems appropriate.
