Depending on the desired application, and the market and need it is designed to address, there are many applications in the 32 bit world that will out perform the old dos systems. That's not to say that there is anything wrong with the dos systems, it's just saying that there are users, and I know I deal with them daily, who unitl it breaks and they come to their knees they will not go to a windows based system or shell out the money....period.
You want me to name a 32 bit medical application? I can do that. But to address what need? Is it for accounting? For HR? For document imaging? What? I can answer this, but you need to provide me with more intormation.
By the way, Easy Route Plus is not in question as far as I am concerned. I have looked around, and for the moment it seems to have a niche. That may be for a number of reasons....
So...Easy Route aside, toss me an example, and I'll name one or more 32 bit applications which may or may not be database driven.

p.s. Tony is right...training and installation aren't cheap. The product I sell has a minimum requirement of 2 days at 2K per day, and the client pays travel expenses for the tech to comt onsite. That is before you get to software, maintenance, or hardware...
Complex vertical specific applications are not inexpensive, and there is a vast difference between what you buy at CompUSA, and what is implemented by a developer to address a certain market. For what we all do as small businesses, Easy Route makes sense. It wouldn't for mid to large sized corporations.
