I have an application where a client wants to transfer a large (around 30K+ lines of code) application currently written in Clipper to either Foxbase/+ or C. My question for the net is: Are there any programs out there that automatically do the conversion for you? How well do they do the translation? How much work do *I* have to do? According to my client he's already tried a demo copy of a piece of SW that does Clipper -> Foxbase and it had a 40% failure rate. He also knows about a piece of SW named DBXC which takes (clipper or dbase III +: I don't know which) and translates it over to C code. Has anyone had any experiences they'd care to share? If there are others interested in this please email me, and I'll summarize to the net. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Timothy D.
