Alan,
I have been forced to implement part of my app on VFP Mac. In a word - it SUCKS!
Aside from the missing features, etc. others have replied on, you will find that it is:
BUGGY - both DT and RT
Slow as a snail
Clunky
Not very stable in Mac OS
And of course - all but unsupported - even here on the UT.
notwithstanding all this - it CAN be made to work - it just takes a lot of "coding around things"
Sorry for the bad news - I am looking to alternatives as we now switch our app to SQL Server.
