Hey Gil, I've made a lot of attempts to run VFP 9 under Crossover Office.
Side note: Crossover Office is a commercial wrapper around the WINE foundation underpinnings. It basically makes it easier to install and manage new software compared to WINE. The last version I could get VFP to run was 4.2 of Crossover Office. After that time, something happened that prevented me from installing VFP and/or copying VFP to that "bottle". Frustrating. Sometime I should try VFP9 under the latest version. http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=1745 VMWare has worked well for running VFP in. Another VM company is coming out with a product that allows a Windows application to run without the Windows desktop showing, just like Parallels. I can't remember which one or when it will be released. That's what we want anyway, right? The application. We don't care about the Windows desktop. Just give us VFP, or Quickbooks, or whatever. Heck, I've even been running a FP2.6 for DOS app under DOSEMU on Linux. Fast as ever. Faster, perhaps. <g> It took me a couple of minutes to find where they put the CONFIG.SYS file so I could bump the FILES from 40 to 120 though. <bg> -Kevin CULLY Technologies, LLC mrgmhale wrote: >> I use Parallels Desktop to run Windows in a VM, and it's plenty fast. > > I recall you had gotten a compiled VFP7 app to run under Red Hat using > Crossover Office, hence no need for a guest OS under Linux.
