dBase IV on the Mac

Henryk -

The short answer is - that I didn't get anywhere. I tried sample versions of Bento and Filemaker but I had problems converting the Memo fields that are an integral part of the applications.

I tried to get information from Maclinkplus and Stelsdbf but neither could tell me whether or not they would handle memo fields.

In the end I gave up. I run the couple of apps on a Windows machine (that also runs some other legacy software) and I will probably eventually start running windows on the Mac and not make myself crazy over it. I found that there are some pretty good Mac applications that emulate the things I was doing on Windows. The stuff I use everyday I've migrated to the Mac. The stuff I don't use all the time I've left on the Windows machine with dBase.

If YOU find anything out, please let me know, but I basically gave up. Some things are just not meant to be.

Sam
