The only link which had a chance of shedding more light - reference 1 - <http://www.at-vantage.com/fpu26_freebsd.html> - returned a 404. This is a common query. Linux does not aim to provide win32 software clones. It is more of "whatever you can do on windows, can be done on Linux"; not "whatever software you use on windows, can be used on Linux". That applies to office suites, media playback, programming tools, etc. If you want to run 'Foxpro' on Linux, I think learning SQLite and ncurses will be a good option. Or you can use any of the GUI toolkits for making the Foxpro screens. The resulting project will be superior to Foxpro. -- Rohit V.
