+## Zoom Suite 6
+
+Zoom Suite is a point of sale and business management system for photography laboratories. It was originally written for my dad's business (The Photo Makers, who operated numerous stored around [Patna](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patna) a major city in [India](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India)) by one of his colleagues and rebooted in the mid nineties by me to feature a better user interface and operate over a network.
+
+The project originally a commercial interest but was later branded as an in-house project. I ceased to maintain it post the nineties as I moved away to pursue my career and stopped working with xBase variants.
+
+The product as built using [FoxPro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FoxPro) a now defunct xBase variant.
+
+During the later (1998-1999) years I attempted to export data from the FoxPro databases and send it across to an external web server where a PHP application would allow customers 
+
+### Purpose
+
+This repository is an attempt to keep the source code that I spent many years building and maintaining as a relic of my earlier work. Zoom has no practical use and is being published here for purely academic purposes. I intend to document my thoughts on design and the environment.
+
+### Data
+
+The data files are missing at present, I am cleaning them up and will leave detailed instructions on how the backend worked.
+
+There's a [Python library](http://pythonhosted.org/dbf/) that can speak the original [DBF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.dbf) file format in case you would be interested in inspecting the data.
