The original versions go back to the 1980s, so they are quite old. It was initially designed to work in DOS, as Windows did not exist then. I also pre-dates the internet's popularity and availability, so it did not have anything to facilitate the internet. The data types available are far more limited than modern databases. There is more work in formatting data types as a result. It has a query language and has the capabilities to do standard things like create reports, forms, queries, indexes and programs, but they are far more limited than modern databases. It has a limited amount of storage for fields and records, so it is not good for very large databases.

How to start a dbase file using dosemode?
You will need dBase or some other program that can read dBase files in order to open them. Otherwise you will need to get another program to open them, but they would ten be opened in a windows environment and in the program. You cannot open the files directly in DOS. You need to have dBase and run it from DOS. If you have dBase, and you had it in a folder on your C: drive called Dbase, on the DOS command line, or going through Start and Run, you would type: C:\Dbase\DBASE.EXE Once dBase is running, assuming the dBase file is in the same folder, on dBase's command line type USE and the name of the file. So if the file was called names.dbf the command in dBase would be: USE names
