Hi Malkie,
Interestingly your email posting didn't come through to me, but Don's reply did. Perhaps there is an issue with the mailinglist?? Although there is not a lot of posting going on, just a couple of weeks ago I posted an article about utilising DP in conjunction with a product I have been using called Windward Reports and AutoTag. Also there has been a revitalisation of interest in Win 64, through VDos which seems for me to work very well, and has made 64-bit Windows not a problem. Although Don has been having some specific issues probably more related to hardware. We all owe a great debt of gratitude to Lew, but also the other WordPerfect (and previous) developers who made DataPerfect possible.

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 I haven't heard about Lew in years but I would have to suspect that he's no longer active.

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 _______________________________________________ Dataperf mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dataperfect.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dataperf
