>"Normal" wine uses Gecko engine. I do remember that there once was an effort to port MsHTML and ShDocView interfaces into ***a*** firefox engine, but believe it was one of the previous ones. Dunno if Wine uses that approach. They had claimed partial success (on Firefox Windows dev blog or chat) - I have not followed up: As said, my approach wold be VM with vfp/ShDocvw, Selenium [with COM bridged broker if using vfp] for basic feasability check,...
Since it's only GoFish and Environment manager where I need the browser object, I'll write my own replacements (patch GF and replace EM). Just wanted to give it first an honest try, just to decide whether it would be worth the effort to fix.
>Basic config for XP is 1 logical CPU and 384 MB if not doing heavy SQL data mining - Editing, compiling, testing or basic Office97 stuff can be done with 1-3 parallell VMs, each much faster than late 32 bit Athlon or early Athlon64 early this century. Later Windozes need too much RAM for each VM for measely 16GB I currently heat air with... If I need vfp data mining, XP works well in virtualbox with 1280MB.
Thanks, but no more windowses on my boxes. Over and out. I just realized I was fighting their idiocies for 33 years. Enough.
>Buuuut: which of Chens vfp enhancements / replacements have you working under Linux ?
>How much effort did it take ?
>How stable is it in day-2-day usage?
None yet, that's the next thing to try. This is just my third day of not being busy with work.
