Greetings all -

Before asking a few specific questions, let me provide an overview of the situation I am dealing with. I have a client for whom I wrote a FoxPro for Mac/2.6 application back around 1994 or so using FoxExpress 2.7. The application is still in daily use, running on Mac OS 8.x workstations in a mixed (i.e., Mac and Intel) network. No problems so far.

The situation: The client is about to upgrade their remaining Macs to current models, obviously running Mac OS X.

I've read the few postings on here regarding similar situations and potential solutions such as:

1.) Visual FoxPro 3.0/Mac.
2.) VirtualPC
3.) Terminal emulation/remote access (e.g., Citrix)

Lots of good information there. I do have some specific questions that I am hoping can be answered by folks out here.

The questions:

1.) What was the last Mac OS version that FoxPro for Mac 2.6a ran under?

2.) Is anyone using VirtualPC on a current Mac to run a FoxPro for Mac application? If so, what problems have you encountered and how is performance? It's been Y-E-A-R-S since I ran a VirtualPC product on a Mac and remember them being really, really slow. Has that changed?

3.) Has anyone migrated a FPM 2.6 application to Visual FoxPro 3.0/Mac running under Mac OS X? Can that work? How extensive would it be to move a 2.6 FPM app to VFP 3.0?

For now I am not looking into other possible solutions such as having the users switch over to PC workstations, moving to a web-based application, etc., as I don't believe the client will be looking to spend a huge (for them) amount of money.

Thanks for any and all responses!!! The UT rocks!
