[Legacy Migration] From old in-house software (such as F-BASIC) to C#

It's okay without documentation. Deciphered F-BASIC code. Successfully transitioned to C# after two previous companies gave up.

At Alive Vision Software, we are conducting **"language porting (replacement) of PC software"** for old industrial machinery and machine tools that may become inoperable due to the end of support for operating systems and development environments. In this achievement, we completely migrated an in-house program written in "Fujitsu F-BASIC," which had its support ended on Windows 2000, to a C# environment for an automatic bending machine in the stamping industry. Although there were no documents such as specifications or design documents, we carried out the language migration by reverse engineering the old source code itself. We successfully accomplished the language migration of the PC software without modifying the existing system, including the control PIC microcontroller for the device (2-axis stepping motor control). This was a highly challenging program migration that two other companies had attempted in the past but failed. However, thanks to our reliable deciphering skills, we succeeded in the replacement and modernized the system with additional functionalities. If you are facing difficult situations regarding language migration of old PC software or issues with defects, such as "I want to rewrite software written in an old language to C#, but I only have the source code with no specifications," or "I consulted another company for migration but was turned down," please feel free to contact us.
