David Jenkins, Midway's President, is the author of "Tips and Tricks with dBASE III". He has this to say about legacy (i.e. DOS) programs:

dBASE II, III, IV and V, Clipper and Foxpro for Dos applications are the orphans of the programming world. Many of them were remarkable work horses in their time. They are now out of date but still functional and important to their users.

You typically have 2 choices:

bulletCarry On Slogging Away With An Old Technology

This is not absolutely impossible but it gets harder each year as technology moves along (for example, you can't use Windows printers).

bulletRewrite the program (typically in Access or Visual FoxPro)

This is a tough "bite" the bullet situation. You may not need any new features in your software and yet, if you don't upgrade, you run the risk that one day nothing will work!!!
