The nightmare of the programmer languages
tomos:
I've no experience with code, but do have a bit of experience with trying to export/convert files from one format to another. You often end up with so much work that you wonder if it would have been better to recreate the file from scratch.
Surely with code, you will need to be able to code anyway, in order to correct all the minor things that dont convert well (?)
40hz:
With DBase it wouldn't make much sense since it's dependent on the underlying database engine which ships with the language.
Best bet is just to replicate the tables, reports and queries in something universal like SQL and recode when it comes to database apps. After that you can export the data to the new database, test, and call it a day.
Bit of a hassle. But you'd only need to do it once.

I would like to convert Borland dBASE for DOS version 5.0 to AutoHotkey_L or viceversa

Why?
There is a compiler for Clipper/dBase code for modern OS's, called Harbour project, at http://harbour-project.org, and a commercial fork called xHarbour builder at http://xharbour.com, based on the oss xHarbour compiler at http://xharbour.org
I would like to convert AutoIt to AutoHotkey_L or viceversa

Why?
AFAIK, AutoIt was created from the AHK codebase, because some people found the AHK 'language' was too unreadable in their opinion...

I am searching the web.
Don't locate a useful tool for converting AutoIt-AutohotkeyL
