Base32 Compiler and Tools for xBase for OS/2 Warp and Merlin from Maxxum
Consulting
Base32 was designed from the ground up for the power of OS/2 Warp. It allows
new and legacy systems developed in xBase languages to be ported to the
multitasking, distributed application environment of a modern 32 bit operating
system.
Base32 creates fast 32 bit executables from xBase source code (dBase, Clipper
and FoxPro)and supports an impressive range of functions and programming
statements. A single program environment accessed from a graphical tool bar
ensures simple operation.
A fully functioning evaluation copy of the software can be downloaded from our
Web site at:
