Actually, you can cut and paste, Ed. But in DP on vDos, it is
<alt><Windows key>, and holding them block what you want to copy and
release, to copy. Then in DP, <alt><Windows key>v, to paste. Of course
in other programs you use the normal procedure for cutting and pasting.
But what you copy goes into the Windows clipboard, so it can be pasted
wherever you wish.

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.

*Subject:* [Dataperf] DataPerfect in 64-bit
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?
