>Really enjoyed your input and great articles... love the expression M$ it really hits home. I always knew that if that one day finally came that M$ wouldn't sell or promote VFP anymore the developers would find other routes to go... Linux being the main target. Not sure if most remember foxbase it's been running on unix for years.

And there was the FPU - FoxPro for Unix 2.6. I had a programmer in Hungary who had ported the then framework of mine from Dos to Unix within a couple of days, at the time when I have already returned home. He basically had only to fix the few function key mappings and what Hungarian grammar was bad in the messages :). The rest of the code just plain worked, including the apps it generated.
