Have some programming projects I need to work on for complex manipulation of excel and dbase files (I can translate the Dbase to excel or other). Wintel platform.

What is the prefered tool these days? PERL, Visual Basic, other?

What is the recommended FREE (open source) compiler/interpreter?

Any other words of wisdom on the subject?

Big rep's in it for the rep needy.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
