Does it has to be so specific? Won't dosbox be of any help?

FWH 11.08/FWH 19.12

Hua,

dBase II was delivered as a COM (instead of an EXE) and I have tested it on DosBox and does not work

Antonio,

I extracted 4 files from a Image :

Command.com
FDisk.com
Format.com
Sys.com

I will send You a File MS_DOS.zop by Email
I hope it works together with DBASE II

Uwe,

I have been able to build a VirtualBox disk image with msdos 3.3 and dBase II and III inside. dBase III is working fine but dBase II does not start. Kind of mistery...
