Clipper, from Nantucket Corp and later Computer Associates, started out as a native code compiler for dBase III databases, and later evolved in to a full fledge database language and application development environment.

Harbour or xHarbour. But S87 code is different than Clipper 5.3 code, so you would spend much time in converting. If you have the professional version of Win7, you can download Virtual PC from Microsoft, and it has a 32-bit copy of WinXP that it runs, that will in turn run your 16-bit program.

Take this as a sign that this code must be updated, and the time to start conversion is now. Smith frank van nuffel, 11:36 น. Hi -- Have 0.74 (latest) installed on Win 64bit (or even 32bit) - it has the advantage over VirtualPC (called XPMode from Microsoft) 1) to not require a Prof version of Windows 2) to even allow your (dos) programs do graphics (which is not possible with XPMode, nor Vista/Windows7 32bit afaik) 3) to let the user choose between fullscreen or windowed mode (also for graphic programs) Install and deployment are extremely easy! It runs 16bit dos-based programs in 64bit os'es of the Windows family Best regards, Frank Much kudoz to the DosBox team:-)) 'gianantonio.garau' schreef in bericht news:089b629d-bc14-45cd-944a-0bc88c0a4db1@c13g2000vbr.googlegroups.com.

Fridman, 6:58 น. Frank, PMJI I've never used DosBox (though heard about it). Will it recognize network drive mappings and printer captures from the host system?

Jim was referring to a six year old post by Massimo Belgrano suggesting to recompile the old clipper application with the Harbour 32/64 bit compiler. Now Harbour has six more years of development under the hood and is even very powerful. Download it from The only caveat is if you use a lot of closed source 3rd party libs. You would have to provide that functionality yourself if Harbour or the contrib libs do not have it.
