>>>Admittedly the thought of that sounds nice - but there is already https://vfpx.codeplex.com/ for VFP 9, and since the users don't have to pay for a VFP licence it really doesn't save much money. That being said - being able to run your gizmo on other operating systems - now that would be pretty cool - assuming it was a seamless port of my old VFP code of course :)

>Yes but that's only 1/2 the trick. Real question is how much re-working of a VFP project would be required to get it to run in Visual FreePro. If you can use the exact same source code then you'd really have me (and I assume a lot of other people) sold on the idea.


Visual FreePro will read all VFP source code forms. Not everything in VFP will be supported. About 85% as is, 10% with minor reworking, 5% is lost.
