The Pulsonix software I use and the cheaper Easy-PC, from the same company, 
were both developed  using C++ and proper OOP techniques. Both are regularly 
upgraded with new versions every couple of years. The few bugs that users 
come across are fixed immediately if they are serious, or a workaround is 
provided, often in 24 hours.
