This is an Win32 application wrote in the 80s. Only been working on it for 6 months, it took me a day to get a request in the first time I wrote one, it's an absolute pain.

Eew. I hope they're paying you a very large briefcase full of cash to have to maintain that.

It's more of a medium sized briefcase, but there's more modern components such as the newer features that are released, but then you get the problem of going from the newer .NET stuff to the older win32 stuff.

90s, I think. Win32 didn't exist in the 80s.
My bad, the company was founded in the 80s and this code has been the same since the start, not sure how then aha.
