Dauntless software stands on it's own merits. They have no
responsibility to make it exportable to some other format. If you
don't like their current platform, that is your own personal problem,
It's like asking Windows XP to make their product compatible with Mac.
There is no legal or moral requirement to do so. Do you expect
Microsoft to continue to make DOS 2.0 stuff workable with whatever you
want it to operate with? Same flawed logic and expectation.

I think you missed the point entirely. The jist of the thread has to do
with the exporting of DATA, not running the application on different
platforms.

You want to throw DOS 2.0 and Windows XP into the thread ... OK ... I
have DATA that was created on several Operating Systems (Unix, DOS, OS/2,
and even IBM Mainframe Operating Systems). The DATA can be ported to
Windows XP and Windows 2000, the applications that produced the DATA
will, obviously, not run on all systems but, at least, I have the
opportunity of porting the data.

My logbook is Jeppesen which allows both importation and exportation of
DATA which is one of the reasons that I chose their product. It simply
gives me the option of choosing another application should Jeppesen ever
decide to get out of the "Logbook Business".
