I can assure you there is no need to "port" dBASE IV code from any other
platform to dBASE IV/VMS: we have done the porting, and provide binary
compatibility for compiled .DBOs, as well as at the .PRG level.

DISCLAIMER: OK, maybe you have a custom .BIN file that you LOAD/CALL.
But we even provide support for PC drive letters hard-coded in file
names on all platforms.
