>I am looking for some manuals or other documentation that will help me to become a better FoxPro programmer on the SCO Unix platform. I seem to be having trouble locating any books on this particular platform. I am in a call center environement with Unix servers running cti applications with FoxPro databases.

Basically, any book for FP Dos is good, since the differences are minor. It's hard to say that you need a book or extra documentation for FP Unix.

As for the differences, they are pretty well documented in the Help file.

There are 2 main problems/differences:
1. File naming - caused by the different file systems. This is very well handled by FP (you can use either "/" or "\" as directory separator in paths), except that you cannot access a file that has at least one uppercase char in the path or name. Also, there is no support for long file names.
2. Character mapping.

Both problems are well documented in the Help file.

Other differences I found:
- LOCATE is much slower than in DOS/Win. Even with small tables, it's very slow.
- APPEND FROM works correctly, not like in DOS/Win. :)
- Much fewer memory problems! :)
- The SECONDS() function is about 14% slower than the real time. :( But this may be a problem specific to the system I tested.

There are other differences, but you can find them in the Help file. Anyway, nothing really important.
