Hey Listers,
Just a friendly reminder to those millions
still using Windows XP.
Windows XP will no longer be supported by M$
after 14 April 2014.
For those of you still using this 12 year old operating system (OS)
there are things you can do to keep it going for years.
There is a very good
Hey Listers,
As we all know, but may forget,
Legacy depends on an operating system.
Legacy requires MS Windows is some form or other.
With many PC users still using Windows XP,
this warning is not out of place, off topic.
It may save someone's Legacy files from damage.

Hi y'all,
I think there has been a lot of good advice
on this very important question.
First, does your present version work properly for you.
Does it do all you want it to do?
Second, do you want more, another feature or three?
Third, is the update version really ready?
Or is it having issues?
the newer operating systems (and, even
if it did, it wouldn't make use of the newer OS's features).
So I will miss the XP support/updates/patches.

2. Have a smaller footprint.
3. Not use proprietary database code.
4. Work in Linux also.

This mark is called a diacritical mark.
Many languages which use the Roman alphabet

If you need to enter a word having a diacritical mark,
then Legacy must be able to store and present it

Hi Listers,
Something weird happened this morning.
While working in Legacy, suddenly there was a change.
When I saved an individual Legacy would jump to notes.
This was new and had never happed before.
So - I went to Options, Data Entry, and found a check
in th Adding/Editing, Jump to Notes...
.
But I may be wrong and it is a very small issue I can live with.
Legacy, even with its faults, is still the best. It isn't perfect.
