I've written programs that I forgot I did and wrote because, then again, forgot I wrote.

Second time the prog is mostly better. I have one programm (mailmerging) i wrote meanwhile >4 times, but not while forgotten. The OS has changed. First DataAccess (a very good DB semi compiled language in the 80's and 90's) while Licencence Problems adapted to Turbo-Pascal (also MS-DOS). After a little bit playing with VB and VBA, Delphi in 2008 (all Win 3.11 to Winx XP) i searched for a language i could adapt to. First choise was Visual Data Access (good cheap, small and mostly known but very hard to integrate Word), second choice was Lazarus (also easy [Delphi/Pascal like syntax] but to big exe-files) and since 2009 it's AutoIt. But as i have lost the source, i have to rewrite, if it should be updated.
