I would like to translate my Foxpro 2.6 project with Harbour into executable to run under Windows7 64 OS.
Unfortunately WIn7 64 does not support 16 bit subsystem. I tried DOSBOX, but it's memory management is not fully compatible with Foxprox extended memory demand and cause multiple opened windows and SQL queries to return error.
I would like to have my project compiled with Harbour, but the clipper compiler reports many syntax error. Is there Foxpro 2.6 compatible compiler available with Harbour ? Unlike clipper, Foxpro produce many screen program files, named XXXX.SPR in a project. Each SPR  (Screen program) should be translated into one exetutable. How can I tell Harbour to compile all SPR file in a directory ?

If you just want to run your DOS FoxPro application on a newer version of Microsoft Windows, take a look at;

http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdos/

"vDos is for serious (mainly text mode) DOS applications, Windows 32/64 bits (XP and later) only. You should be able to run your DOS application quickly in a safe and convenient way."
