Danny,
If I recall my DP history correctly, DP was written using a customized
version of the Forth language that Lew wrote himself, not C.

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?
