The first version of SkyWin's predecessor, called Member, was developed using Clipper and DBase IV. It was primarily developed in order to keep all members in a database instead of re-writing the member list on a typewriter every year.
The features of Member included member administration and some reports for the printer. That was it. |
| 1993 |
When Microsoft released Visual Basic 3 during this year we re-wrote all Clipper-code to VB3 and simultaneously added functionality to handle payments and membership (licenses).
Still only one user. |
