We have a few FoxPro/DOS apps running that share data with our VFP apps. The VFP apps serve as a SQL front end. All of our DBFs have to be readable by the DOS apps, and the DOS apps can't communicate with SQL. We're not going to be rewriting the DOS apps in VFP anytime soon.

Is there any benefit in compiling our DOS apps in VFP? Is there a way to do that will maintain the proper look of the screens (non proportional font)? I played with this a few years ago a little bit with VFP 5 but not since.

Has anyone done this? Is it worth the effort?

Thanks in advance,
Larry Morelli
