I need a Copy of 2.6 DOS Professional

[robmclennan]

I'm looking for a copy which is &quot;gathering dust&quot; on someones shelf and wants to part with it. Suffice to say the need arises from a former company who now wants an app I wrote, but I want to build an executable to secure the code from their prying eyes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br><br>Rob McLennan<br>Davis, CA<br><A HREF="mailto:rmcl@compuserve.com">rmcl@compuserve.com</A>

If (&quot;you have a registered copy of VFP&quot = .t.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;you can call MicoSoft and and they will sell you a copy of 2.6 for the cost of a one license upgrade<br><br>endif<br> <p>David W.

I have a standard copy of 2.6 but I have had no luck with &quot;Microsquash&quot; regarding their support of this older version. I'm also wary of the price they would place on such an older program.<br>Thoughts??

 

[robmclennan]

I did indeed contact MS and was told they &quot;no longer support&quot; this version nor do they have any copies in archive to sell. I have found some one who has a 2.5 compiler; will this version compile programs written in 2.6a?

I tried both E-bay and the emsps.......; both with no luck. I agree the second is no bargain for an outdated program. But I was able to FINALLY get a copy at a resonable price from a user who passed along all docs and rights.<br>The old saying is true; there are really nice people out there, it's just a question of persitance.<br><br>Rob

Very funny...Perhaps you need a sense of a) Humor and / or b) perspective.<br><br>Specific project..specific needs..no desire to recreate the &quot;wheel&quot; when this will be obsolete in short order. As is your &quot;386&quot;; I suggest a boat anchor, perhaps with you attached!!!<br>

Would that be from a row boat or one of those new fangled ones with a fancy electric motor? <p>John Durbin<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>ICQ VFP ActiveList #73897253
