Subject Re: Which dBase is best for me...maybe dbDOS From Eric Logan <jelogan@eltopia.com> Date Fri, 17 Oct 2014 16:32:05 -0700 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started For the time being it may be simplest for you to just run your original database software and programs in Virtual Win XP. Then perhaps you would be able to rewrite your programs in another language, and be able to compare the new output against the original correct output. E.L.

When we converted to windows we started using Visual Foxpro, but still programing in original Foxbase format.  In other words not using or know how to use the visual part of the program.  Now We're updating to Windows 7 which foxpro isn't working very well on. > I downloaded the 30 day trial of dBase 9 and am pretty lost in it.  I'm able to see my table & open the *.prg, but can't run them and indexes aren't responding either.  I'm wondering if dbDOS/pro is better for me.  There isn't a trial version to review & I'm kind of afraid to buy it. > Below are pieces of a few programs that I write in Foxpro....Maybe someone who uses dbDOS might know if it's the right fit before I buy it.  Thanks > Signed > Lost in DB world A.K.A Merci
