He has a Clipper compiled application (with full source) and disaster : customer past to Windows 64 bit
Instead of going through all the hassle, have you tried
DosBox ?
I have succeeded in running quite some old Clipper programs under this Emulation software in 64-bit Windows (7 & 8) without problems.
Saves a lot of time, instead of trying to recompile...

Hi
BPD2000
I downdloaded
vBox. Then I saw sample Demos of WordPerfect running well (DOS on Win7).
But how to start go to DOS-prompt at C: .\ as directed in Autoexec.txt?
See Copy of Autoexec.txt in folder vDos:
Code: Select all
@echo off
rem This is essentialy the DOS autoexec.bat of vDos.
rem Only one additional vDos specific command in here: USE.
rem At startup only Z: (bootdisk/command.com) is known by vDos.
rem vDos drive letters don't have to match those of Windows.
rem Preferrable they even don't, so access to the Windows filesystem is restricted.
rem Note: Files and folders that don't confirm to the DOS 8.3 filenaming are hidden in vDos by intend.
rem First you assign vDos driveletters to Windows folders or network shares.
rem USE <DOS driveletter:> <Windows folder|network share>
rem We just use the vDos working directory (.\) as C:
USE C: .\
rem Switch from Z: to C:
C:
rem Select the DPTEST folder:
CD DPTEST
rem Start the freeware DataPerfect Testdrive program. Use F7 to exit the program.
rem Note: This is merely to confirm vDos is working on your system:
DP26YI /s
rem Finally also close the vDos window as DP exits:
EXIT
Thanks for help. Regards

Hi Dave [BPD2000]
Your sample looks very-very-very nice. I love this!
It works (reportedly ) under DOS.5.0., with no DOS commands included (hopefully with DOS.6.2 or higher).
I put .exe files (dos version) on to drive c: of vDos, but the didn't run when executed. It's gone blank [c:>file.exe ENTER, back to dos-prompt]
Could you tell me how to make them run on [dos shell] drive C: of vDos?
Many-many thanks for kind help.

This isn't correct
The correct expression is :
- don't allow "open with ..." right click menu option
Tried, editors open successfully with their own "open" option and saved as with a different file extension
".lnk" extension is only the default (if not defined) for linker;
any other extension may be used when explicitly specified.
TIA

Serge and other friends who wondering :
DoxBox, vDos, VMs etc dont help me; because .lnk file came to me is empty
A short break
My friend sent me executable ( .exe ) files ( Compiled by Clipper plus built by HMG / Harbour for console ).
Now I'm working to understand business and program logic of application.
But I not surrender ( like our friend Agil )
I'll success compiling via Clipper too.
And will notify you of course.
TIA
