Philip, Another possibility is: do you still have R:BASE for DOS 6.5 or later? If so, you should be able to connect to a 7.6 database with that from the menus.
press [esc] if you are at a DOS R> prompt. Use the Databases menu to navigate to the folder with the database. select the database. Go to Tools/Settings Go to Characters/Blank type your single space in the "Set to" box. [Esc] until you leave R:BASE for DOS Your change should have now been saved with the database. As long as the new RBENGINE76.CFG file is correct already, you should be good to go from 7.6 Windows.
