The file compression scheme used by the installation routine does not work in modern Windows operating systems. If the program were installed in an older Windows 3.1 system, it can be manually zipped then moved to a Windows 9x or NT-based system and will work properly under the 16-bit WOWEXEC.
While the program pre-dated the introduction of Windows 3 and True-Type, it is otherwise compatible with a modern installation of Windows XP. The user has only a single system font in all screen displays and printed output. On some systems, the display screens displayed incorrectly, because the system's default font was sized differently than the default Windows 2.0 system font.
If the application were installed on a file server or mapped drive, a single user at a time can use it over the network with no difficulties.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or systems:
“A modern author would have died in infancy in a ruder age.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The only people who treasure systems are those whom the whole truth evades, who want to catch it by the tail. A system is just like truth’s tail, but the truth is like a lizard. It will leave the tail in your hand and escape; it knows that it will soon grow another tail.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
