I need to know about compatibility between dBASEII CP/M and dBASEII IBM-PC/MS-DOS A friend wants to computerize his small business. I want to help him. I have CP/M and do not want to change to MS-DOS for myself, but he needs to go to MS-DOS instead of trying to use CP/M. My question: Is there any compatibility problem between dBASEII versiuons on the two operating systems? I plan to develop his system using CP/M, and then transfer the files (CMD and DBF, etc) to his MS-DOS system either by modem or by disk. But before we comitt to that approach, I need to know about any Gotchas that may lurk in the background. I know that there is incompatibility between dBASEII and dBASEIII, but that's not the issue we're considering. We need to know if there are problems between dBASEII across the CP/M and MS-DOS boundary. Please respond direct to STORK@MIT-MC, for I do not read infor-IBMPC. Will summarize and submit to nets if there is interest. Thnaks, Eric
