Running FPD 2.6 on a modern PC 2

[Mike Lewis]

My client has several apps written in Foxpro 2.6 for DOS. They are gradually converting them to VFP, but some of them will have to run in FPD for another couple of years.

The client needs to replace their PCs with new machines, and they are worried that these old apps will no longer run. I've seen many posts and some FAQs in this forum about running Foxpro for Windows on fast processers (such as divide by zero errors), but nothing speficially about Foxpro for DOS.

Does anyone know of any specific problems they are likely to encounter?

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Hi Cricket,

My 2 PC's and 1 laptop all have 1G RAM.
As I reported above, with TameDOS 5, FPDOS v.2 runs fine on all 3, doesn't prevent other apps or system from running.
I did try FPDOS with 512MB RAM (without TameDOS)... it sapped memory. Perhaps I should have tried TameDOS then.

My reference to problems with installed memory over 512MB referred to standard XP, not Tamedos
