Converting and migrating your
ancient Clipper or FoxPro program to Windows
Clipper decompiling and
source code recovery
Clipper
and FoxPro were popular DOS databases in the late 80's - early 90's. Even
now, in 2009, it is astonishing how many mission-critical Clipper
and Foxpro applications are still out there.
However these DOS programs don't do
well under Windows, and may not run at all on fast processors, in XP,
Vista, or Windows 7,
or may have problems printing. Plus
they have a text-based interface, hog processor time (which
slows everything else down) and can't communicate with Windows programs. They are prehistoric.
These programs need to be converted to Windows before they stop
working completely. We've converted and migrated many such programs. We can do
the same for you too.
Converting with Visual
FoxPro and XHarbour
We convert Clipper and FoxPro to Windows using
Visual FoxPro
and xHarbour.
Visual FoxPro is
a Microsoft product. Much old FoxPro and Foxbase code can be
easily migrated into Visual Foxpro, as can all of the data.
xHarbour
is an open source program with a large and active user
base. It supports all native Clipper
code, so such an application will often run in xHarbour with very little change needed.
Support for your existing
Clipper or Foxpro application
Sometimes, you just need a few fixes to your existing
program and don't yet want to convert to a new program. We
support and can make program changes in all versions of
Foxpro and Clipper. |

Migrating Clipper and Foxpro
to a new vertical platform
Sometimes, the simplest, most cost-effective approach is to
find an already written software package for you to use,
then import your existing data into the new system. There
are vertical platform applications for most businesses. We
can help you find one, then convert your data. |
What to do
The easiest way for us to determine what a conversion would
entail is to examine the source code. For small
applications, we can examine it at no cost. For larger
applications, we may ask for a small fee, as it can take
several hours. Once we've looked at the code, we will get an
estimate back to you.
Email us for detailed information about what files we need to
do an estimate.
Clipper decompiling
and source code recovery
You've lost your Clipper source code
and are panicking because you need it. We can help. Our
decompiler services can often re-create the source code from the
executable. We
will decompile
Clipper applications within 24 hours and email you the
source code. The cost is $60. You can pay using PayPal.
There is no charge if it won't decompile.
Email us for
instructions on how to send the EXE. |
