Yes, it is definitely Vista's policy toward DOS apps. I copied
dBase5 to the Vista laptop (and it actually appears to work),
tried to change the icon, and the same thing happened: went
through the whole routine, but Apply stayed grayed out, and it
stayed the piece of paper icon. What we need here is a good,
old-fashioned hack, using the word in its laudatory sense: a
work-around for a piece of arrogant officiousness on the part of
a commercial product.
