Hello John, I'm a software developer. More or less.
My system has had a long and varied journey. 1. Version 1 started out as VFP9 with VFP tables. 2. Version 2 migrated to PostgreSQL tables, still with a VFP9 client 3. Version 3 then went to RealBasic (which later became Xojo) with PostgreSQL tables and ran on both Windows and Linux. 4. I was toying with creating a Web version using a Xojo web project but I don't think I'll get to that now that I have full time employment. PostgreSQL has been excellent. Never a hiccup. Xojo is also excellent and highly recommended for VFP developers. It's nice to get away from all of the Windows shenanigans over the years and be able to run Linux day in and day out. I wish my day job had more Linux in it. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John R.

Kevin- Are you a small business person who does a little programming, or a software developer? I ask because I started with dBASE II and found it a 'business person's language', but there doesn't seem to be one for Linux unless you subscribe to some proprietary system. If you are the former (like me), what O/S, Language, Database did you use? I've been looming for about 22 years.
