Bill,

>Years ago, we developed several Fox apps that ran on either Windows or SCO Unix
>90% of the time, there were no problems porting the code from one platform to the other, but when it came to things like printers, serial devices, screen resolutions, etc, there were lots of issues that prevented us from using some of Fox's most powerful features.
>Cross platform sounds good in theory but in practice just using Windows gave us a better product, so we opted out of Unix and made them Windows only apps.

Yes but that was way before the time we learned to code in layers. At least let me have the same database, Data objects and Bizz objects... irregardless of what the platform is.
