I'm running DP on Windows 7 64-bit under VMware.  Works fine but no support (at
least in my environment) for parallel printers (LPT1, LPT2, etc.).

It also works fine on Windows 7 Virtual Machine with XP Mode installed (both
free downloads from Microsoft) I understand but have no personal experience.  I
understand an attached parallel printer will work in this environment.

Microsoft doesn't, to my knowledge,offer a  Windows 7 Virtual Machine with XP
Mode equivalent in Windows 8 or 8.1.

Malkie - there are ways of running DP under newer versions of Windows, I'm playing with them now. They've been discussed online.

You aren't the only one still using it but our numbers are dwindling. I haven't heard about Lew in years but I would have to suspect that he's no longer active.

Hi Everyone;

Haven't heard from our DP friends for a long time. What happened? Has DP become so
defunct that I'm the only one left using it? ; (

Many of my clients and I have upgraded to Win 64-bit but apparently this new
platform is not quite compatible for DP Dos version and we need to upgrade to a
different database. Although I'm sure no program can ever be as superb as DP, I would
appreciate any suggestion of a more up-to-date user friendly, simple and great program
to replace DP.

I hereby would officially like to thank Lew Bastian, DP's author, and the crew, for this
amazing program I purchased in 1990 and became addicted to. Any plans of coming
out with a Window's version? I would pay any amount for it.

Malkie
