Why should a third party explain?

To provide an independent viewpoint.

There remain 'problems' with www.Tekrider.net, viz:-

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xtqj0901b2....net.tiff?dl=0

Sucuri have indeed altered their assessment of Tekrider.net (now no
report of malware!) but they NOW say this:-

To my mind, something *IS* amiss with BTS's web site ....

*OR* he's simply playing games.

Which is it, folks?

There is lots of older, great and even essential software, that will
not run under anything very much after XP. Certainly not in 7, 8 or
10. I keep a virtual machine running XP for these apps.

Thanks, SteveGG :-)

I'm wondering how long it takes from submitting a 'bad guy' report to
the FBI before 'bts' gets the 'knock at his door'!

What software is that?

What software is that?

I have lots of programs developed in Quick Basic 4.5 and Visual Basic
3; lots of critical stuff I use often ...

e.g.(s) - converting numbers between different bases, calculating
times between dates, regression curve fittings ( linear, polynomial,
exponential and power models ), censored data analysis, Gauss-Jordan
elimination calculations, stereo imaging software, John Conway's game
of life, mortgage calculations, thermal endurance life testing
analysis, thermal degradation data analysis ( both conventional and
FTFM methods ), wire insulation thermal data analysis ( 3 models )

- to name a few that come to mind.

None will run in Windows 7, 8 or 10 !

So glad I have an XP virtual machine !

16-bit software? If you are running a 64-bit Windows, 16-bit
software will not run.

So glad I have an XP virtual machine !

I use DOSBox myself for some 16-bit utilities that I wrote in
QBasic.

Sincerely,

My old dBase stuff still runs well in DOSBox too

Oh wow.. windows 3x VB.. Your quick basic apps can be run for the
most part using DOSBox under windows 7 or later. As for VB3, it
creates 16bit NE executables...afaik, those aren't supported on
windows 7 or better.

I certainly don't "like" older software, BUT just want to be able to
run what I need.

I've also developed 7 great apps in Visual Basic 6, that run just fine
in any Windows version. i.e. - Mandelbrot exploration, Julia plots,
Chaos Engine, Mortgage computations, Conway's Game of Life, Worm
Simulation and Logistic Equation.
