Has anyone had any experience with conversion of Foxbase+ 2.1 code to
dBase IV ? Are there any utilities or texts that are oriented to a
conversion of this type ?

Why ?

We have a large Foxbase+ app that runs under DOS and SCO *NIX. We are now
attempting to run on the VAX/VMS platform, for which dBase IV is available.
For the moment, this is the avenue we intend to pursue. I am aware
that there are more appropriate databases for a VAX, but we really can't
justify the time it would take to convert a 5Mb+ application to a completely
different language.
