Numerous engineering applications on the corporate mainframe network running VM/CMS have been redesigned and deployed on PC's running DOS. The majority of these applications apply to operations engineering and include calculating fluid properties, multiphase-flow pressure drops, and optimum designs for both downhole and surface equipment. The redesign effort focused on the user interface, with only minor changes made to the calculation routines. The PC version of the applications executes faster, at a lower cost per execution, and requires less support and training than the corresponding mainframe version.
