about DBASE CONVERSION.
 DP> You'll get into things like Fontmetrics, the various fonts themselves,
 DP> and the Report Forms.  If your reports were all "hand-coded" this won't
        Don'tknow how they were done, I'm just inheriting them. But we are
not planning a conversion but a complete re-write. Just want them to be
running under the same package at the time instead of having some old
DBASE stuff running in parrralell (never know when to stop on that one)
to the new stuff. Anywho it is alljust speculation at the present.
We'll have to wait and see what they decide to do.
 DP> So, screens and reports.  The menus work the same.  The popups are the
 DP> same.  Just be prepared (and prepare the client) for slightly different
 DP> looking screens and a burst of SPEED!  :)
        It is the speed I am hoping for. I think it will clinch the deal.
Thanks for your time and info. Let me know if you run into anything when
you do your DBASE thing.
