I have a little challenge that I need to take care of here at this manufacturing plant. We are thinking about obtaining RF Hand-Held Laser Scanners which read bar codes of items we ship and load on trucks.

Currently, the shippers will scan a complete load then come back to the "Blue Shack" at one of the doors of our plant where they download their scanned items to the PC through a scanner cradle which handles comunication. All of this is currently in Dr. DOS on the Scanners and DOS software (Data Harvester) on the PC which has Windows 95; yes, it's very old technology but it still works. I cannot upgrade the PC to Windows XP, because the DOS software would cease to work.

Can Visual FoxPro programs work on a Windows CE hand-held Scanner, or would I have to re-write my VFP code into C# or VB.NET?
