Bill Gates once claimed "Windows NT will be the most popular version of UNIX ever." [1] I think he was wrong. Android is essentially a Java runtime running on top of a Linux-like kernel, but it isn't UNIX and it doesn't have Linux- nor UNIX- support libraries. Now, there IS a Linux terminal for Chrome OS, and it may be possible to get FoxPro/UNIX running on that. Search for "FoxPro runtime for UNIX" to find the original SCO UNIX files, which will only run on SCO UNIX (not recommended). Dennis Allen is THE authority on FP/UNIX/Linux and has a detailed page here: http://www.dennisallen.com/readfpu.htm It's not clear to me that the Linux terminal you get on Chrome would let you mess with the kernel in the way he suggests. You might be better off running FoxPro/DOS on DOSBox on Linux on ChromeOS. Though, come to think of it, you should be able to run DOSBox on Chrome directly. So, what is it you are trying to do? Do you really need FP/UNIX or are you just trying to get something xBase on a Chromebook. Why?
