Hi there, and hello from Germany!
Does anybody have the most ‘recent’ version of SHELL available? After many, many years I’d like to play around with DP/Shell again, and currently I have only SHELL 4.x Thanks in advance!

I was only thinking of the DP Order but the other utility files especially the DPDiag proved to be even more helpful. I am still amazed that even after all these decades I have yet to find a “modern” database application comparable to the power, flexibility and ease of design of DataPerfect. And believe me I tried. Some years ago I was involved in a project to create a custom designed order processing system. DP was out of the question because it was first and foremost a dinosaur of a DOS based program. The direction the company took was MSSQL. The company spent several months and over $200K and ended up with a product that did not truly fulfill many of the original objectives. The programmers insisted what I wanted was practically almost AI level of intuition. Here I am today using DP and achieving many of the objectives I wanted back then and not spending ridiculous amounts of money and time to do so. But to be frank, DP would probably be useless to me today without Jos Schaars’ VDOS adaptation, as well as Tim Rude’s DPSpool. It is truly a shame that WP did not continue to develop and better market this product. Eventually moving on to a newer product would likely happen someday, but not today. I too miss the dataperfect.nl site but I don’t know if Udo is still maintaining it. Brian Hancock mentioned a while back that he hasn’t been getting emails from it anymore. Thank you to all those who still supports DP. Best to all, Ed.

I haven't taken down the compusofl site because it might have some historical interest. However, the download section is basically empty. I regret the loss of those files, and also miss the dataperfect.nl site, upon which I used to rely. Does anyone know if it will become operational again?

The links in the DP website no longer works. Thanks. Ed.
