I use a program written in Clarion 2.x
I got a new pc due to a hard disk faillure.
But it has windows 7 on it
So I use dosbox to run the program.
The program works ok.

To generate reports I use the clarion reportwriter version 2.x.
It does not seem to work in dos box.
It does start up I can start a predifined report, but it seems to be going throught the records like 1 per minute. And never finishes

Does anybody have any experience running clarion reportwriter in dosbox.

Its more of general question through which I hope to find a solution.
I do need those lists generated

Regards

Frits

Set core= to dynamic
Set cycles= to max

If you need more speed then you need to either upgrade your processor or use a virtualizer instead of a emulator

or

and I'm reaching here I know. Upgrade to a native application instead of using a DOS app.

Got it working now.
It indeed had to do with the speed.
It seems dosbox is very slow in handling clarion files.
So running the report took 47 min at max cycles. 🙁

Just ordered Windev to rebuild my 25 year old aplication 😀
