Memory Lane... (and a big dose of forgetfulness)

[Michael Matthews]

Hello All Good People,

On a dull & wet Sunday afternoon in the UK, I found myself having to run our old Omnis 7 system.  So out comes Parallels with Windows 10.

I install 7.38, which looks ok.
Add the old cross platform fonts, Chicago, Geneva, etc.

Open the Library and find the DF1.  All looks good, quite pleased really.

Try and remember the password from 2007, fail miserably.  Try and break into the code and can’t remember the keyboard combo when shown a Yes/No message.  Age!

So what is the magic combo please for a Windows environment?

It was a nice looking application which still lives on today, but in Studio v8 and PostGres.  But the method editor and whole look and feel is just so, well so 1990’s.  And to think it took Steve Jobs and the move to Intel by Apple to yank me away from Omnis 7 to Studio.  

I’ll never look back, I promise. :)

Thanks

Mike
