GOOD QUESTION MICHAEL. The Eula for VFP 5 does not restrict the way
later Eula's do and I want to keep the option of wine etc. Also Speed
may be better with another langauge platform, and speed opens bigger
Mill to our systems.

if you just ported it to VFP 5, why are you porting it again?

Subject: PORTING A VFP APP TO WHAT ?
Hi all:
Just finished my Summer 87 Clipper to VFP 5.0 port.
Tried to buy XP from Dell& M$. No longer available. M$ advised that I buy
FVP9.0 in an emailed reply, without mentioning that VFP 9.0 is the last of its
breed. They added a table showing VPF3.0 to 9.0 against Win 3.x to Win 8 with
support Y/N's, Pure Hopscotch.
They recommend Win 8, but tell me I must pay get speed benchmarks for it. Win 8
supports VFP 6 and 9 only.
There is only an absolute minimum of screens and no graphics in our app as it
runs animal feed mixing plants, and of course it will never be attached to the
Internet. BUT IT LOVES SPEED.
Our server runs Netware which is far faster than the M$ Servers we tried. SQL
used only in
reports.
Has anyone written a Porting App, - VFP to what ?
William
