I agree that it would be best if you could either convert the app or assist someone with converting the app, but if that is not an option, then it still should work. If possible, connect a W2k or Winxp to the network ahead of time and test.

I ran a large FPD26 app on a Novell network with W2k and WXP clients for sometime now, and it is still running. There are some tweaks you will have to do on the W2k machines (printing in Dos, or to captured printers in Novell, etc). Since they have been running Novell already for sometime, it should already be configured correctly. There are Novell client tweaks for W2k and WXP clients though too. Most (if not all) of it you can find by searching the UT.

>I have a client who still runs a very large custom application in Foxpro DOS 2.6 on a Novell network. They are bying new computers and being told that DOS programs are not compatable with Windows XP. I've checked Microsoft knowledge base and found a couple of articles with some very specific things that aren't supported, but nothing to make me think the application won't run.
