NO, NO, NO

Look at it this way. If you have a great steak, can you put it in a grinding machine and get a nice prime rib back? FoxPro DOS and VFP are both Fox, yet completely different.

The designs of most Fox DOS apps are so different from a good VFP app, that it's not worth converting them.

Build new screens and take whatever code from the DOS app into the VFP app.
