[Dxbase] Windows 64 Vista

[Crownhaven]

This question might have been asked before and if so I genuinely 
apologize......Is the current owner of DXBase going to or is it even 
possible to do whatever needs to be done to make DXBase run with Vista, 
etc., without the editing, etc. that is currently required? Does it even 
matter? I'm running W2K and XP Home here. I'm also not a computer 
enthusiast but a DXer so be gentle with your answers in the event my 
question is stupid, irrelevant, etc. And yes, you can call me 
uninformed. Joe knows all too well. :))))))
