>Way back when I had to write apps on the Unix system using Foxpro for Unix (2.6 I think). It was about 80-85% identical to the dos version. It worked very well and was a very nice unix dev tool at the time compared to other tools. I could write the app in either version and use compile time constants to run specific code for dos or unix in the same app. I then only had to compile it in the unix version or the dos version of foxpro to run it on whichever platform I wanted.

You are one of the lucky ones (?) to have worked with FoxPro for Unix. I was told by a reliable source at Microsoft that only 1400 copies of it were sold. It was mainly written because Fox Software had promised one large customer they would.
