I go with Alan's suggestion on using DosBox. I have used it to successfully run an older Foxpro V2.5 program whilst converting it to VFP.

There is no way to run 16-bit apps natively on any 64-bit Windows. All TameDOS does is quiet the keyboard polling that some DOS apps do, which used to cause high CPU usage in Windows. TameDOS is also 16-bit. I would suggest investigating DosBox. It's intended for running DOS games in Windows but I have successfully run Foxpro for DOS applications using it. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/d64fd081f2184615a9942f96d2d75...@develop ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
