Greetings,
Previously I have posted some adverse comments about XBASE++
and EXPRESS++ migration because I had unresolved errors. Now I want to put the record straight - we have SUCCESS!!
With help from the XBASE support guys and from Roger Donnay
we diagnosed that my problems were localised on my PC with
corrupted DLLs (my PC was hacked not long after an upgrade
and everything turned to custard).
I have now installed the latest versions of both packages
XBASE++ v1.82 and eXPress++ (build for xBASE v1.82).
By starting installation of XBASE++ and EXPRESS++ clean
on a new PC - all the previous problems have disappeared.
The result is excellent! Both products are performing
to specification. The 1st application took less than 8 hours to convert to Windows and at the same time include fancy new GUI functions for pop-up calculator and calendar
plus a fancy bitmap display to pretty up the entry screens.
So, my advice to anyone considering migration from Clipper to Windows 32bit is now unreservedly 'Got for it with XBASE++ and EXPRESS++ - you will soon recover your investment.
