I just went through this recently with a client. dBase III+ works just
fine with Windows XP, as long as Windows can find the dbase folder.
In my client's case, it was easiest to place everything in one folder -
dBase, program files (.prg), data files (.dbf, .dbt, .ndx), and anything
else it needed.
The trickiest part is printing. Connecting a printer directly to the
computer's lpt port is the easiest. Otherwise, printer pooling (which
has been discussed in other messages here) works quite nicely.
