It's also some shitty program that is all black screen with green text that was probably made in the 90s . From what I understand it's used by a bunch of different shipping companies and very unintuitive to use .

Edit: just googled it and it was released in 1988 it's called As400

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
