Sorry about that (I didn't actually check before I posted)

That leads me to a question
I have a Prop Win based database/POS system with thousands (7 years) of
manually entered EAN-13 and my own shortcodes that when/if I end up moving
it over to linux I will need to extract is there someone that could help
me with that?

BTW the software company doesn't exist any more.

Thanks
