True, but... after 30 years in fox and 33 of messing with M$, I simply had enough of Redmond bullshit. So I took the chance when I quit the last gig to finally shut down my last W7 virtual box, and keep fox running under wine. But that's limited in several ways, the most important one being that I couldn't connect to postgresql (something about 32 vs 64 and unixOdbc) unless I'd run a script to send - and didn't bother, then, to check what would it look like if I tried with a script to get, probably some kind of csv or json would work. The other thing was that it wouldn't speak cyrillic at the keyboard and clipboard level. It would display in controls, forms, but when I type it, it comes out as question marks. Gave up after a while and went for Dabo - thing written by two old foxen, and it's good.
