The nightmare of the programmer languages

Contro:
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 (?)

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...

Running to see the Harbour

 :-*

I know my borland dBASE was after Visual dBASE 7.0. I have the disks yet, but I didn't programmed with that version.

And now exists.

I think there were two branchs.
The New dBASE
and embarcadero

Contro:
I never uses Clipper. It's xHarbour for me ?
Nevertheless my first account software was compiled with clipper. I bought to my hardware vendor so many years ago.
I conserv the program : SISCON . After was Contaplus.

Contro:
xHarbour seems other scriptable language more......... compatible with older ones like my dBASE for DOS
From those times i have changed my profession and bought Goldmine in DBF version.
Anything that return me to my old worlds is welcome.
I tried some years ago everything to have my ancient apps running on xp with no success. But i can try on '98 SE under virtual machines.
