Hey all!
Been another year and a half since my last update. Believe it or not, I do think about my project from time to time. But rather than joy, I feel anxiety from it, because I have a list of to-dos that I just don't have the time to tackle.
New features and changes are hard to even think about implementing, because I don't even know if my translators are still around. Unfortunately, that much time has passed. And with regards to a 64-bit version...I don't have the time to run extensive tests to ensure I don't break anything. So...as they say, if it isn't broke, don't fix it!
To be honest, in the "new" congregation I'm in, I didn't even bother trying to get them to use my program. Literature is so much simpler these days, I saw no need to. And I know right now there is an active alternative to LRO. Perhaps not as detailed and sophisticated, but good enough:

You can continue to use LRO if you know what you're doing. But there will not be any more updates or support fixes. If it isn't working for you...try out NWS for literature. As far as exporting your data to NWS...you would have to ask them if they'd work on an import feature. LRO can already export order data into Excel. They would just have to build something to read it and import it into NWS. Unfortunately, I don't think I built anything to export inventory data...
So....that's it! I may even shut down this site after a few months. It is my hope that everyone who used LRO enjoyed it and it saved you much time and headache. But now, I am wrapping up this loose end so it is one less "to-do" that will never get done. Time to simplify...
Goodbye & take care! 👋😎
