There's 20 years' worth of information in that program and it runs beautifully (it can do a detailed search through all of that data in less than a second)... too much to lose for such a simple problem.
Err, has anyone heard of it by chance?
In lots of ways, the writer is indeed wrong. A program like The BOSS should be built to last forever; it's a darn good program with practically the same capabilities as modern tools for small business. (Maybe better, in fact, since its UI doesn't look stupid :b).

No, I haven't, but I have a great deal of experience of 'fixing' legacy systems without having access to the source code - in the past I've resorted to hex editing to fix stuff like this. Try searching for the current rates - it may take some time to filter out all rubbish but sometimes you can get it!
I think the reason I'm lazy with hardcoding is that I never take ownership of the source code.
