Seeking Filepro Programmer

[neroni3000 at comcast.net]

I am mostly retired at this point, but I still have one client left, and he needs a programmer/support person to do a bunch of cleanup and modifications to his system. I told him this was a good time for me to bow out and pass his business on to another Filepro programmer who is younger (hopefully) and more up to date (not difficult) than me. He has agreed to that. 
He has been running the system for at least twenty years (maybe longer, I can't remember). It is a highly customized version of the old Fourgen system. The company is a Dunkin Donuts chain. The system runs in their back office. They originally used all the major functions, including payroll, inventory, etc., but they have gradually replaced many of those functions with external automated systems (payroll, inventory, etc.). The only thing left is accounting and sales input to the accounting system. 
The system currently runs on a SCO Unix 5 HP server . One major problem is that the menu system was built using Menu Maestro. This works very well, but Menu Maestro, as far as I know, only runs on SCO 5, so the system cannot be ported to any other platform. One project might be to convert the Menu Maestro menus to Filepro menus, but this is not an immediate need, perhaps a follow on. 
As I understand it right now, the immediate needs are: 
1. Eliminate unused code, menus, and data from the system (system cleanup). 
2. Automate input of sales data (currently done manually). 
3. Automate export of accounting data to reporting and analysis tools that the owner likes to use to generate his own reports, etc. (mostly Excel, I believe). 
4. Improve the bank reconciliation process - automate this as much as possible. 
So, we are looking for someone with plenty of experience developing Filepro systems and a detailed understanding of accounting systems. Knowledge of, or experience with, Fourgen is a definite plus, as is any knowledge of Dunkin Donuts systems. 
If you are interested in this opportunity, please send your phone number and a brief summary of experience to del at altsystem.com. 

Thanks, 
Del Neroni
