Too bad Dr Dave is not still in charge of Fox. The guy was a genius. He

would have it running on everything so we would not be stuck with the M$

4 years. I recommend the Brother brand - low cost and reliable. We use the

In the past we have had 2 Canon printer/scanners and the auto document feed

Fujitsu has the ScanSnap series, and they look reasonable. The models in

It would be nice to have a model that allows you to name the individual

Yep,

SCO xenix was a cool O/S especially when you had a host of dumb terminals attached serially. We used to run our dev system on an ALTOS 4 box with 20Mb hard drive (That was MASSIVE at the time) and 8 inch floppies. As well as that we used to develop systems using the OASIS operating system that had a database actually built into the O/S.

Happy days!

I remember brief scrapes with FoxPro on that, in the early 90s. Arcane

even then.

Also much fun with Concurrent DOS / MultiUser DOS / DR DOS on machines

with 16 terminals hanging off big external serial port blocks.

Nightmare.

Such a great achievement, and so ahead of its time. Did this trend

discontinue simply because M$ wanted to dominate the OS world and hence

not want their softwares to run on non-Windows machines?

That reminds me of the SCO lawsuits awhile back. Remember that? I

don't think anything came of that, did it? Just bluster and saber rattling.

More because M$ dominated the OS world, and cross-platform

development is difficult. If you want to go back to the early '80s,

Lotus supplanted VisiCorp in the spreadsheet market because VisiCalc

only ran on the Apple II, while 1-2-3 ran on DOS.

Of course, as Microsoft acquired various software companies (like our

friends at Fox Software), they had a vested interest in making sure

their products only ran on Microsoft OSs.

Cross-platform development doesn't need to be difficult. All the apps I've developed

in the past 8 years have run on Linux, Mac, and Windows. Even if they only ever get

used on Windows, I make 'em cross-platform anyway because it comes for free.

I guess we may have different meanings of 'difficult', though. I like things simple,

so I code using the terminal and vim. I would find an IDE like Eclipse or Visual

Studio extremely difficult to use, and my productivity would tank.

Gee, I found Eclipse to be incredibly daunting, too. Too much so for me to

bother with. I thought it was just another example of the deterioration of

the stuff between my ears, since "everybody" (not here) seemed to rave

about it.

Nice to know that you (obviously with no such deterioration) found it that

way, too.
