No. Alpha NT has a compiler that translates EXEs and DLLs to native code. I do not know if this compiler can handle VFP EXEs or DLLs, VFP EXEs contain stored databases which may cause problems for the DEC compiler. Foxpro compiles to bytecode, therefore there is no need for an Alpha version for the compilation itself. VB can comple to native code or to bytecode, hence the need for the Alpha version.
