So it looks like there is and might not ever be a viable way to migrate my dataease 4.53 applications to windows based products with out virtually re writing the entire applications?

DataEase DOS is just put on hold until we find out if there is a market willing to pay for it out there.

The sad truth is that this product should have been there 20 years ago and it can now look like the train have left the station.

We can't make a product just because we made a big mistake 20 years ago and the future for DataEase is and never will be with migration old applications. If we can't manage to develop a product that do today what 4.53 did in the early 90ies there is no future for DataEase anyway.

We want more than anybody to be able to complete LegEasy DOS but our main focus need to be on DG3 and DataEase 8. The first is the future of DataEase and the second is the current.

If LegEasy DOS can fit in here we will develop it, but we can't prioritise it without having a firm commitment from our customers.

It is no big secret that DataEase has let it's users down several times over the last 20 years, but we need to move beyond the past and start focusing on the future.

We need customers that can do the same and that wan't to both buy, develop and sell DataEase applications.

In my opinion migrating a DOS app to a Window app is a mistake.....unfortunately been there, done that...sufferred consequences :(

DOS is not Windows and Windows is not DOS.  Things are done differently.  So my advise, stock take your current application, add a vision to where you want to arrive and develop in DataEase 8.
