Ivan:

I used to write and support Foxpro 2.6 apps for the Mac, and it was such a huge headache that I eventually gave up in disgust. The application sort of worked most of the time, but had infrequent crashes, and wouldn't work reliably at all on the latest Mac operating systems.

Don't make the mistake of promising that the Mac version of your FPW2.6 app will be up and running "any day now". It will take a lot of effort, and the end result is not very pretty or very functional.

My strong suggestion to you would be to have your clients use VirtualPC on their Macs, if at all possible. That way they could run your Windows app reliably (albeit slower) on their Macs.

Just a suggestion from the trenches...
