>>>I worked with dBaseII since version 1.0 (?) for CPM, when you only could use two tables at once. I was able to build surprisingly advanced applications still. However I must confess that I don't remember when memo fields were added. Anyway, I am 99.99% sure that you should be able to read the old table directly from VFP. I hope you are able to fix the headers.

>The nice thing about dBase II was in was “a relational database”. Yes sir, that is what it was advertised as. Why you could actually open two tables at a time! Imagine that? Table A, and table B. You could never have more than two tables open at a time though. I got my copy in December 1981.

PW was more popular at Turkey. It was so simple but so easy at same time and it's possible to draw rectangles with PW.
