Well watch this space
Looks as if we are going to run with Virtual Machines - in practice this means a button on the MAC desktop which will open a virtual Windows machine in which we can run VFP. I am told that all I need is a small Windows server plus a Windows XP licence for each MAC machine - I know a guy in the West Country who reckons he can do it. The result will be a VFP stock control application with voice instructions to the operators running on MACS
Nice one if we can do it and I think we can
