Installing dBASE v5.5a After dBASE PLUS v2.61

Installing dBASE v5.5a After dBASE PLUS v2.61
Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:09:36 -080
Hello.

(I first tried searching the NGs for this topic because I thought I 
saw it in the past.  Sorry if I'm posting the question anew.)

Are there any issues to be aware of in proceeding with the 
installation of old dBASE v5.5a after dBASE PLUS v2.61 has already 
been installed?

I am aware that an older BDE version is part of that v5.5a install.  
Will there be other issues in this endeavour which might screw up my 
current setup of v2.61 and current BDE?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

These are effectively completely independent software packages, and 
should not interfere with each other at all ...

Thanks, Ken.

That's comforting to know.  I had wondered whether I needed to 
"insulate" my current v2.61 setup by installing v5.5a in a VMWare 
virtual machine.  But now I don't have too.  Thanks again.
