Has anyone had experience with the Desktop Ai dBx dBase to C translator?
We're working on an application that takes up 190K in Nantucket
Clipper-compiled .EXE code. The .EXE file contains 120K of compiler
overhead, and runs too slowly for our liking. I'm wondering if translating
the source to C will save us time and space. Please let me know your
experiences and evaluation.
