Not sure if this is Clipper!?

[MarkYoungIW]

I provide IT support for our company, but I am not really a programmer (other that web design).

When I joined our company, our survey department was using a very old DOS database, which had been written for them by a programmer who has dissapeared!!

When we reached the millenium, the database started to cause trouble due to it only using 2 figure dates.

They still use the software, but struggle due to it not sorting by date properly anymore, and are always saying how useful it would be to get it fixed (and maybe into windows).

It is only now that I am transfering it to yet another computer I decided to try and find out why it only works if I put 'SET CLIPPER=v015;f255;r016;e000' in the Autoexec.bat

Does the above line mean it is written in clipper? Would it be easy to uncompile it and amend it to fix the millenium bug? And could it be ported into windows?

Any help would be very gratefully received.

Many thanks

Mark.
