>>I read Alaska Software's software; they say Alaska Xbase runs old Clipper applications without any change.

>>Does anyone know, I just wondered will Polarfox run old FPDOS 2.6 applications without any change too? VFP cannot run old FPDOS applications without any change. There are problems with fonts, screen resolutions ...

>You just wrap the whole 80x25 screen into a form with fixed font and sufficient size to show it. You can actually define that form to use foxels instead of pixels, and give it .width=80 and .height=25 and there you are. Activate that form, and then run your FPD2.x app. I did that once during a lunch break, even added a background picture to the form. Looked nice... and DOSlike.

I did not know that foxel thing. I'll try that with _Screen. If it would be easy. It will be excellent!!!... Running that old dos application with a big customer beginned so hard nowadays. There are a lot of problems with new technologies. If it'll work you would be saved me with a big trouble... :)

Thanks,
