This question has come up before, so I wanted to post my recent results here in case people are still interested. Last night I put the final piece of the puzzle together to get vfp7, out of the box, to run in a mostly stable fashion on Linux. Here's my first screenshot: http://www.paulmcnett.com/vfp/vfp7wine.html My testing also indicates that executables built from vfp7 will also run on Linux. Please understand, these are preliminary results only and I haven't done testing in the way of printing, scanning, com ports, etc. I have verified that vfp dbf's and dbc's are handled just fine, and that the various sqlstringconnect(), sqlexec(), etc. commands work for connecting to backend databases. Classes can be designed visually, browse windows will display, etc. I also don't have, at this point, a roadmap to tell others exactly what to do to get vfp to run on their linux installations. I do have notes jotted in various places and intend to get them formulated into a set of instructions. How far along I get in doing this depends to a great extent on the amount of interest shown for this. There is still at least one significant problem that I need to surmount before this can be considered a completely stable development environment. I just wanted people to see how possible it will be to run VFP on Linux... a glimpse into the future perhaps... (by the way, I've had no luck getting VFP8 to work and I have tried. VFP8 must have been significantly rewritten or something). -- Paul McNett - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hollister, California, USA ---------------------------------------- Subscription maintenance at: http://leafe.com/mailListMaint.html -- .~.
