I don't know about dBASE; there is a known issue with some processors with a CPU clock in excess of 300MHz and FPW. FPDOS is seemingly unaffected.

There are any number of reasons a program might fail; you might try Borland's Web site to see if there are any known issues there if it's really a program running under dBASE III or IV under DOS.

In order to answer the question in any intelligible way, you'll need to supply more information - what version of dBASE (or is it some other flavor of xBASE, like Clipper, that they think is dBASE), does the program use any third-party add-ons (dBASE supported a number of interfaces for accessing functions written in assembler and C, and it'd be easy to break things that relied on loop timing for delays to break), do any of the CPU fixes like SLOWSTART help, how does it show up as 'failing'?
