>>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.

Yep. I was working for the government at the time :o) It was mostly Unix server systems back then.
