  A group I do some volunteer work for has tried to use SBT accounting running
under both Clipper and FoxBase+  with Proteus AT and XT clones on their TOPS 
network, and have been unable to for reasons of incompatibility.  My first
exposure to this was today, and having had no experience with either TOPS or the
SBT package (or Dbase III compilers) before, if anyone out there has had 
experience with these packages working together, can you tell me how you made it
so?  Does the new release of Clipper (universally praised by all I know who have
used it) have a chance of working under TOPS where the old one did not?

Answer via email, if sufficient interest I will summarize to the net.

Thank you.
