Database Programming/Condor DBMS

Advertisement


Question
I found you by Googling "Condor DBMS".  I have been using Condor3 since the mid-'80's and, over the years, have tweaked it to do what I need in my business and have not wanted to switch to other applications.  But I cannot get it to run in WinXP.  You told another questioner to ask the installer to give you access to DOS.  Unfortunately, I am the installer.  How do I do that?  I was hoping to find that Condor had been made a Windows application over the years, but I seem to be drawing a blank as I seek help in that area.  

Answer
Hi, Ed
I wish I knew, but I am a neophyte.  I did manage to access DOS and install Condor, but it (Condor) does not operate fully.  I have concluded that DOS is modified by the Windows developer with each new Windows, making it more and more difficult to operate within DOS with each new Windows.  I am still working on trying to improve Condor in XP.  
Good luck
John
