DBASE III+: Works on the 100LX (100/200LX)

On a 5MB flash card I set up a dBASE sub-directory and loaded the essential dBASE III+ files into it using the 100LX Connectivity Pack. It ran as is right out of the box! I was also able to assign dBase to a hotkey in AppManager by allocating 256K of RAM for DOS. (Add |256 at the end of the Path line when you add the application to Application Manager.)

I can't believe I'm running such a finicky program, with some large database files and programs, in this little machine.

It does crash rather easily, especially when using the "!" command as in "! dir a:" for example. I had to remove the batteries to restart. It's best to avoid using this command.
