An old version of a Dutch bookkeeping application aimed at clubs  
called Davilex Club. I believe it's a 16-bit application. They never  
upgraded it because newer versions requires Windows SBS with Microsoft  
SQL Server (which they don't have) and converting the data files to  
the format of the newer version isn't even free (!). Right now they  
are storing the data on a Samba share on a Linux fileserver. The app  
works and they know it inside out. People have been looking into  
migrating to another application (things like GnuCash) for quite some  
time, but they haven't found a suitable replacement.
