dbase4 and windows 7

[LonnieJohnson]

Does dbase4 and windows 7 play well together? We have some legacy programs in dbase4 and we are considering moving to windows 7.

We were wondering should we start converting them to MS Access or Dot Net programs.

I'm not sure if it will work with Windows 7. I am assuming it will not. We also have an application in dbase4 and need to replace a couple of PC's (with Windows 7) soon, but haven't done it yet.

If you are using Windows 7 Business, you can download and install XP Compatibility Mode. When launched, it opens a window which runs an XP shell and that should return you to XP compatibility mode. It is somewhat clumsy, but does work. I have tried it for a few other legacy programs.

We are currently looking at converting our dbase4 application to run on our web server using php.
