BINGO ... I'm still scratching my head but a download / install / and 3 tries thru a tutorial and I was up and running. Tiny window but it works. It was a 4,000 line program written in turbo pascal... works great but obsolete. It will get me by another year.
I need to write it in foxpro but my skills are limited Kids compete on 4 to 6 events plus all-around depending on boy or girl. They are categorized by class then age levels They are placed on each event and all-around by class/age but the top 3 scores by class counting on each event for team. I did it easily in pascal but I don't have a clue how to write the queries with tie breakers etc... I need to learn c# or c++ Thanks Gary -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hill [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 3:33 PM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: old dos program On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 9:25 PM, Steve Ellenoff <[email protected]> wrote: > If you're running Windows 7 ( I assume so since you said it's a new > machine), it won't run 16 bit programs out of the box if I recall > correctly. There was some chatter on this list about it a couple weeks ago. It's 64bit platforms that don't run DOS programs. Pretty much all modern PCs are 64bit. This cheapo (550 USD?) laptop here is 64bit. Celeron CPU, 64bit, dual core. Another option is DOSBox. Not played much with it myself though. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
