convert the flexfile DBV files to FPT - also can I use winexec to replace
swpruncmd from blinker.

If you have flexfile, see if you can export to some other format.
May have to simply print record number and memo field contents to
a flat file, then merge the memo field contents in with the dbf.
I don't see a historical discussion in this newsgroup relating to
how such data conversions were performed.

I'd recommend one of the wrappers discussed in either of these
threads:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.xharbour/msg/07c5b42e83653bf9
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.xharbour/msg/f842512cc396adf6
... google groups will be a big asset in finding "work arounds"

re Flex dbv's, I have been through the same exercise. Are you using
Flexfile's RDD, or their API?
Solution might be quicker to discuss if you email me at

Could one of you tell us what the final resolution was, someday?
That way we'd have the method on file, if not the details.

We do simply
1. We rename a file dbv in fpt
2. We change 1-st byte in heading dbf on chr (245)
