Dear all, Working with DataPerfect under 64-bit OS is a problem that has to be solved through e.g. VMPlayer. Unfortunately, although once promised, a Windows version of DP does not exist. I had the same problem with 16-bit QBasic programs, but now recompiling them with QB64 was a straightforward solution. I suppose DataPerfect (with its additions as DPEXP and DPIMP, MCREATE and STE-MGR) and Shell with the Editor [for shell-macros]) are written in a kind of C language... I wonder if there is no 32-bit version of the compiler for that language... This could be a solution for the 64-bit environment.
Of course one needs to have the correct compiler and the source. I know that Lew Bastian had the source code for Dataperfect but maybe copyrights are preventing a recompilation?? A bad idea? ________________________________ Danny Meirte curator Herpetology Royal Museum for Central Africa<http://www.africamuseum.be/> Department of African Biology Leuvensesteenweg 13 3080 Tervuren, Belgium Tel.: +32 2 769 56 29 Fax : +32 2 769 56 42 or +32 2 767 02
