Production schedule/order application (approx. 3 modules, 30-40 small programs) is written in Micro Focus Object Cobol 4.0 . This application runs in the Micro Focus run-time environment, dos-based. As this is outdated and because i have also some problems with new OS like Windows 2000/XP, I need to convert this application to windows application with a new GUI, using also a Windows database (SQL, MySQL, etc.). First part will be a conversion, afterwards (will be possibly a new project!) I need also some adjustments (export of data to Excel and e-mail integration for example) Please state in your bid your experience with Cobol or similar projects, time frame, tools/language used, front-end/back-end, ditribution/installation of front-end, ability to have support after the job is done, etc. Important is that you will have to deliver a complete documentation of your solution afterwards so that we will be able to make adjustments ourselves (if necessary). Remote access to one of our servers will be provided to view the old application and to test/install the newly build one.
