Well I did a search the other day and was amazed how many dBase/Clipper/Fox spinoffs are still around - in addition to the free/open ones I found three still apparently actively being sold, and not cheap either. The free Clipper-derived ones are compilable on Win; Linux, Android and more. I think that [V]FP is superior in most respects - I still maintain that dBase/Fox has the best/easiest instruction set for string handling of any of the languages I've looked at. BBC Basic (!) is available on Raspi (which is targeted as an IT learning tool) and it would be really good to see Fox there. I still maintain that dBase/Fox has the best/easiest instruction set for string handling of any of the languages I've looked at.

ms have announced that Win10 will run on the latest (1Gb) version -
I'm guessing that as they have already ''open-sourced'' the code for
.net that it will eventually be available on the pi.
Now if they opened VFP source .....
