[Dxbase] DXBase and Vista32bits

Mon Feb 16 09:24:37 EST 2009

Well, on my XP machine using all of those programs you mention, there are no 
entries in the host file that came from them. But obviously, if you do have 
some software that makes entries, then you would want to keep them. So, 
simple pc functions like copy/paste of the contents from one into the other 
are in order.
Regards,
Jack
