Yes!
That is why I am experimenting with a cross platform jdbc driver. We are developing our software so that data and operations can be accessed on the client side by any w3c compliant browser using java, java applets, and javascripts. If I can get this ZYH jdbc driver going against free VFP tables in Linux that will be a big plus.
