For-to-Win Consulting Services

Windows Development and Conversion Experts

A Division of Sigma Research Associates

We make Windows software happen! No late deliveries! No sloppy management! We deliver absolutely top quality commercial-grade software to meet your exact needs! Specializing in Fortran, C++, and Visual Basic development, featuring

• rigorous full-cycle project management
• competitive bids
• extensive pre-project analysis

Why waste your company's time and money rewriting mainframe/mini, Unix workstation, or DOS legacy Fortran programs in a language unsuitable for your applications, and ending up with buggy code, just to run them under MS Windows? We can take your existing source code and in short order create native Windows 9x / NT / 2000 / XP executables that are easy to maintain, execute lightning-fast, and continue to take advantage of Fortran's many inherent advantages for numerically intensive applications. Our Fortran-based platform migration projects deliver full compliance with military and ISO Year 2000 requirements.

We can protect and enhance the value of your Fortran software investment by:

• retaining your original Fortran 66, 77, or 90 code core with little or no modification
• bringing your programs into full compliance with the most stringent commercial and military Y2K standards
• incorporating multiple windows for inputs, outputs, and other data displays
• creating graphical windows to represent numeric data in a variety of multidimensional visual displays
• delivering efficiently-compiled code resulting in extremely fast, robust execution
• development of free-standing executables or DLLs callable from Visual Basic or Visual C++
• compiling and linking to your external custom Fortran or C/C++ libraries
• using the most efficient rapid development tools available plus Windows API function calls written entirely in Fortran, resulting in source code augmentations that are easily maintained by any Fortran programmer
• developing cross-language applications combining the strongest capabilities of Fortran, C++, and/or Visual Basic
• constructing integrated custom help files for each migrated program or module

We can work from virtually any existing source code for business, financial, and scientific applications, including those originally written for:

• HP UX, Sun Solaris, or other Unix
• DEC VAX Fortran
• Microsoft DOS Fortran
• IBM Fortran

Our qualifications include more than twenty-five years of mission-critical software development experience with a wide variety of operating systems, languages, and user interfaces. We are tops in the business, stand behind our work, and will always be here if you need us. We do not use "contract" or other transiently employed programmers. You will deal directly with the principals.

WE ARE EXPERTS AT IDENTIFYING AND SOLVING YEAR 2000 (Y2K) AND RELATED PROBLEMS IN FORTRAN CODE
