i am so sorry
i dont have the original source code i got the source code from
valkyrie
i want to recompile them because the 16 bit programs are taking too
much
CPU usage 99% and my computer CPU 600MHz they making it like a DX2 CPU
i want to recompiled as 32 bit CONSOLE applications

| Hi,
Just to iommit the cpuusage problem :
1. search for dave´s FAQ and the yield() Function.
2. Or use blinker7 and put blicpurel() in your main code.

| "crap files" does not really say much. Care to elaborate?

so the source is not made by you ?!

valkyrie does only give you some Cl*pper source, but no ASM or C Modul

did you realy think, just decompile woud be enought ?
every Cl*pper Programmer know about decompiler and they will
protect there work. so you will not get "all" Moduls and you can not
link it again into a running application.
so write to the original Programmer and buy a Upgrade.

| TSH,
1. Do you connect to the "client computer" remotely or are sitting in
front of it?
2. Do you have FILES=255 (or another big enough number) in your
AUTOEXEC.NT file?
3. The message that you're getting - does it come from the application
on VDM (virtual DOS machine).
4. You described you Win'XP problem as high CPU utilization. Are there
any other? Do you get "file problems" w/o TameDOS?
Your original idea to recompile the salvaged code is very unlikely to
work. You still will be facing the problem of matching any unresolved
externals to known 3rd-party products. If the original developer used
any custom C and/or Assembler routines you're out of luck completely.
While it may possible for you to hire someone to do all this work for
you it most likely be very expensive.
If you can not reach original developer(s) then consider finding
another Accounting package that suits your needs and hiring someone
with Clipper (xBase) knowledge to extract the relevant historic data
and import it into the new system. This approach might prove to be more
cost effective.
