Hi,
we still have some clipper apps in use on customers sides (app. 150 users
overall)
With extended dosfonts you can have a windows nearly filling the screen
with
80x25 (thats even better then fullscreen)
The apps are proven (last error in 2001 or so) and REALLY FAST for data
entry, for extended reporting we consolidate the data and export them to
excel.
Fax and mail is no problem with Tobit David.
We migrated some other apps to Visual Foxpro / .NET
(we had some problems with Visual Studio 2003 .net apps on vista, we did
not
have problems with the clipper apps.
Greetings
tom
