Now, this company had a long-time consulting firm. These consultants were unbelievably incompetent; all the things people quit doing 30 years ago--"branching is too hard", "we'll just hard-code that value", etc, etc, etc.
Anyway, this main application had to be run in IE, with compatibly mode set to
seven. In 2018.
One of my first assignments was to try to figure out why it needed IE7 compatibility, because the consultants hadn't been able to find it for years. Took a couple days, but the form navigation and function buttons were controlled by something called an htc file, which was MSFT-only, and had been abandoned even by them years ago.
It's amazing what you find if you bother to look around a little.
Needless to say, those new versions never got released (AFAIK) because the QA guy was too swamped with ongoing work to test the rewrite. At least, they were still waiting when I left, almost two years after their creation. Really nice people, but a totally disorganized company.
