I AM PRESENTLY USING A DBASE I PROGRAM ON A ZENITH 100 MACHINE. I WOULD LIKE TO CONVERT IT TO DBASE III USING A ZENITH 248/IBM COMNPATIBLE. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A PROGRAM THAT WILL ALLOW THIS? ART DAVIS MINOT NORTH DAKOTA

One (at least it was) good source of Zenith info is the Navy Regional Data Automation Center (NARDAC) at Norfolk, VA. The Air Force supposedly has a similar office at Gunter AFS, but the Navy seems to have put a lot into supporting the Zenith micros. NARDAC runs a bulletin board also and you may be able to get the program you need or the information by sending a message through the BBS. I don't know any of the NARDAC numbers, but I think the AUTOVON info number at Norfolk is 564-0111. Bruce Carlson

Art, Not sure about dBase I, but a book with db III package, called: dBASE Bridge, A guide for the conversion of dBASE II programs to dBASE III. Talks about converting to/from dBASE III.. Thought this might help.. Dick.. -------
