Tracy,

>I threw mine out. I actually had a very 'hot' app I wrote in 2.6 for Unix for the government way back when... They don't use it anymore. It was rewritten in VFP6.

I was on the beta for FP/UNIX and then used it for a project that I upgraded from FoxBase/Unix (SCO XENIX if I remember correctly) to FP2.6/UNIX so we could prepare to jump to FP2.6/DOS and go to a Windows-based server.

Several years later, at another contract job, I inherited another FP/UNIX app and did some maintenance on it over several months.

It worked really well, especially some cool features like being able to use unix shell expressions (pipes and redirects) in the SET PRINTER TO command.
