So, what about using an old runtime and writing applets with dBASE 11 or 19? Is that object code updated as to not be runable in a web page directory tree?

dBASE 2019 can be used for Web applications, indeed there is a tutorial
for creating web applications, but like anything, it will take some time
to work through it all, and get an understanding. You would also need to
find a host server that runs Windows (there are suggestions in the
tutorial).

I switched my domain hosting from Linux to Windows years ago but never tried to ask GoDaddy if they will install BDE or dBASE runtime. I used to run a webserver at home when I had dsl. I have also for quite some time looked at who in dBASE community operates web server space. Last I checked it was $5.xx/month but several links do not work.

No. It doesn't have the internal mechanics needed.


> I know people might complain about issues but I am finding the dBASE 19 easier than ever. I worked in dBASE at Borland. I could never learn fast enough to make sense of Visual dBASE. The leaning curve was too steep. Anyway, I hope I can get this project done enough to get it out before I am 71. ;)

There's also a regular dBASE tutorial that should work for dBASE 2019
(there's no reason it shouldn't):

And I have books available (see the signature block below).
