Re: how to run DOS base(Clipper, Foxpro, DBase3+) programs

Hi Alex,
I have no experience with those programs, so what I'm going to say here must
be taken with a grain of salt (or sugar, if you prefer... hehehe...)
1. Try WINE
2. Try CEDEGA
3. Or before they migrate, dump the database to plain-text files,
comma-separated-values. THEN, import them to MySQL or PostgreSQL

Happy Tuxploring!
