Danny, I'm running DP on a 64bit Win7 networked machine using VDos (thank you Jos Schaars!). After some very helpful tips from Brian, I haven't had any problems or even hiccups. The only thing I sort of miss is the cut and paste. Can't do it now in vDos.
Good luck. Ed.

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 <http://www.africamuseum.be/> Royal Museum for Central Africa 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
