I guess I need to dust > off my DOS stuff. :) DOS PRO 6 is a software package that emulates DOS on top of Windows, I believe. The full name seems to be DBDOS Pro 6: https://dbdos.com/dbdos-pro-6/ which should actually include dBASE from what I can see, in which case he's using an older version of a product from dBase, LLC. If he has dBASE then he can just, inside dBASE itself, use the editor there.
