DOS Program

[Doug Mc]

I just switched to XP from 98SE.

I have an old DOS Program I need to run infrequently.
I tried to run it under "CMD" but it wouldn't execute.

I got the following error:
"Clipper is not recognized as in internal or external command, operable
program or batch file."

I assume that it can't find the Clipper.exe file???
What do I need to do to be able to run it?

Thanks.

Either type the whole path to Clipper.exe, locate Clipper.exe in
%windir%\system32 folder or add the folder that Clipper.exe is in to the
Path.

Maybe all you have to do is type Clipper.exe instead of Clipper.

The DOS app obviously needs Clipper installed (Clipper = old dBaseII
clone?)

You need to duplicate the old DOS setup with respect to the supporting
files and their locations.

I put it in the Windows folder and it worked fine.
Thanks for the solution
