Converting, Importing, or Updating Paradox 4.5 for DOS Scripts to Paradox 5 for Win

Does anyone know if Paradox 4.5 for DOS scripts (8.sc*) can be updated or
converted into Paradox 5 for Windows or higher versions.  Can reports from
Paradox 4.5 for DOS be updated or converted too.  Thanks.

Neal:

The only value to the .sc is that the program they represent has
already been developed so that it is *only* a conversion.  While
someone is converting, they can also answer the "why did I do it that
way?" type of questions, perhaps optimizing as they go through.  I do
think, however, that the by-script conversion would only be worthwhile
for quick stand-alone scripts; picking and choosing snippets of
pdoxDos code to put in this method or that custom procedure would take
forever.  However, anyone with both PdoxDOS and PdoxWIN (i.e., us
older guys <grimace>) could do that conversion for ya.

The forms and reports are still a washout.  There is an older object
converter that you can probably still find.  It's version specific
(Pdoxwin 4.5/5 (?)) but the old DOS stuff, once converted, looks
pathetic under windows - IMHO, it was not even worthwhile as a
starting point.

Lastly, as Kasey said, the tables are good-to-go.

1. Convert WP5.1 DOS file to Paradox 4.5 Win

I need assitance with converting a large WordPerfect 5.1 (DOS) document to Paradox 4.5
(Windows) database.

The WP51 file consists of records set up as a Parallel Column with Block Protect.  Each
record has 7 fields.  I want to be able to convert these "records" to Paradox database
records so I can extract specific records for tables, reports, etc.

Thank you in advance.
