Can we reformat and reinstall 2020 as it seems to have a virus?

Maybe you should vent sooner rather than saving your ventilator.

If we do that can we take it all the way back to before Windows 10 was installed?

A client wants some reporting stuff automation.
The problem... The reporting tool of their ERP system is over 15 years old WTF | :WTF:

The supplier has since switched to a new format and I had to get a report viewer from... Somewhere Laugh | :laugh:

It's not really a problem for me though, the whole report is XML which is decent enough (as decent as XML gets anyway).
The real problem is within the report content... Pascal Script! OMG | :OMG:

Actually printing a report is going to be nice, their SDK for this version is only available in... Delphi Laugh | :laugh:

Someone else is doing the Delphi, luckily Dead | X|

I didn't think I was old enough to ever witness Pascal, even if it's just its unholy script spawn.
Pascal Script looks a lot like PL/SQL and thus burns mine eyes!

I've already ordered a set of dark robes to perform my (now) nightly programming rituals.
A question for the initiated, do I need a cauldron? Big Grin | :-D

Best,

You need a cauldron full of your favourite poison, to (a) take away the bad taste, and (b) make you forget...

Come on old man! Get with the 21st century - you need an iCauldron XI Pro!
Sure, it's hardware incompatible with Fire 1.0 and Water 2.3, but you'll get used to the (proprietary) iMagic iInterface!

And we promise^* not to slow it down when we release a new version next month!
