Bid Tabs System Requirements
The computer you are installing the program onto should have at least 50 Megabytes (MB) of free hard disk space after installing the program and bid tabs data. The computer also needs to have a CD drive, a mouse. The processor needs to be 500 MHtz or faster. BTP will run with the following versions of Windows: 98, NT, 2000, ME, and XP.
BTP takes up approximately 10 MB and the historical bid tabs data from a state can range from 20 to 100 MB, depending on the number of years' of data, number of pay items, and number of contractors. The more historical data you plan on keeping, the more hard disk space you will need. Each year's worth of data will take approximately 5 megabytes of space.

Development Technologies
BidTabs Professional has been developed using Visual
Objects (VO). VO is a true object oriented development environment used to develop Windows
based applications. VO also is specifically designed for database oriented applications such
as BidTabs Professional. The Database engine for BidTabs Professional is DBase
using FoxPro indexing. This combination of database and indexing technologies optimizes
the speed of the overall system more than other available technologies while at the
same time minimizing network and system overhead.
