[DXBase] Import from 4.0 or 4.6 to 2003

2003年3月18日 07:56:23 -0500

Mike,
The process for getting a very old version of DXbase for DOS into the format
required for importing into DXbase for Windows is basically as follows:
1. Using the v4.6 DXbase for DOS upgrade contained on the CD, perform the
upgrade from your v4 to v4.6.
2. Using the v5.0 DXbase for DOS upgrade contained on the CD, perform the
upgrade from v4.6 to v5.0.
3. Using the import utility in v5.0, perform the ADIF export.
4. Using the Non DXB Import utility contained in the DXbase for Windows
program group, perform an import of your ADIF file from step 3.
All of the files needed are on the CD. There is no import process from the
.sdf format of years ago. DXbase 4.0 for DOS is approximately 8 years old
and there have been tons of database format changes since then. Thus, it is
necessary to make the transition in steps to get current. DXbase for DOS is
no longer a product that we offer for sale or support. Call it progress,
but the fact of the matter is that DOS is dead... hihi....
Regards,
Courtney

Due to a hard drive crash sometime ago and now a corrupt back up I need to
convert a .sdf file to something 2003 can use. The instructions in the help
file were less than helpful for me. Can you go direct from the .sdf to 2003
with import? I saw some vague instructions about having to convert to 5.0
before and windows version but the instructions didnt really say what files
needed to be run/copied etc......at least not that my brain deciphered. Im
using windows 2000 pro will this cause any problems? I dont seem to have
the DOS "friendly" environment that existed with win 98.
I dont want to bore you all with the steps so you can reply direct.
Thanks
