Other commands to remove/replace coming from DOS-versions are:
- remove SET COLOR BACKGRND/FOREGRND
- remove CLS commands for painting areas
- remove calls of playback-files
- remove SNAP and DISPLAY
- replace FILLIN using DIALOG
- remove every printer control code and every system-variable (#Date, #PAGE) in report before converting
- replace every PULLDOWN-menu by form or POPUP-menu
- if the user enter text in French (or other language with foreign characters) you must not use the same column,
RBASE-DOS stores in ASCII, Windows-version in ANSI
- if using GRANTS on database replace SET USER password by SET USER user password
- we removed every AT-option, which was used for absolut position of dialogs, forms etc.
- breaks, calculations and variables has to be controlled carefully in reports after converting
- remove OUTPUT PRINTER/SCREEN around print report, now using print OPTION
