Upgrading from DOS – dBase, LLC.

If your DOS application consists mainly of Dialogs (Forms/Masks) then you will probably need to change/rewrite large parts of it. Remember though that if you were to decide to use another language that the amount to learn would be far higher and you would probably have to rewrite everything.

The basics are still dBASE the way it always was.

Many programs and modules which have little or no dialog functionality can be used unchanged.
