Hi
I have files with original environment from the last system programming.
So, is something will gone wrong, i will have to reload this. 
As i mentioned before, i have "only"  to modify some labels from the some
inputs from the systems.
I mean "only" because i thought this seems to easy when you have original
programming files.

YES, original configuration still existing.

*_The good news is that will be possible to get from an old installation a
panel that is not use anymore and i will have possibility to create a test
environmen*t_

Not the case. Original files existing.

If the hardware failed, i will have to replace this with new generation
equipments that have user friendly -dedicated software interface that i am
fully certified to program and i already commissioned more then 20 big systems
buildings already :)
Customer will have to cover all cost for replacement for replacement.
Customer already know this problem with his 20 years old panels :)

sooner or later customer will have to migrate to new hardware system, but
until then i want to help him to use this old system

Nick
