As someone else stated, many have updated from dBase II to III+ or
whatever. I have not, and wonder whether the files generated by II
are identical to the newer ones. I bought a laptop, and although I
haven't tried HZ-100 dBase on it, I don't think it's going to
work. If I bought a [forgive me!] PC-dBase for it, would I
be able to update my old files and/or push the updated files back
to the Z-100 and use them? Or do conversion programs exist, or is it
necessary to use the hack of saving the files in ascii (SDF format
I think is the dBase term) to go from one to the other?
I also seem to remember hearing of some [PD?] software which
deals directly with dBase files. Can anybody tell me where I might
track down same or what they might do for me if they exist?
