About the service
For more than fifteen years I have worked with Clipper, dBase, and the entire xBase family, and I still appreciate how compact and fast those old business programs were. If you have a DOS-era accounting, warehouse, or counting program in Clipper 5.x that people have been afraid to touch for a long time, I am ready to help. I parse and fix inherited source code, recover corrupted DBF files and indexes, carefully add the small features that your team constantly requests without breaking what already works. When the old computer finally fails, I port the entire system into a virtual environment or rebuild it on Harbour and xHarbour so it runs on modern Windows and Linux servers. Data migration is a large part of my work: I extract records from DBF, NTX, CDX, and memo files, clean them, and load them into MySQL, PostgreSQL, or plain CSV for your new software. I document every step, deliver clear notes, and stay in touch after delivery if you need to refine the report. Whether you want to modernize gradually or move away from xBase completely — I will think through a safe path and take it carefully, making backups at each step so nothing is lost.
