Interesting.

I wasn't aware that we could run fp 2.6 dos this way.

I've been wanting to experiment with linux and this might be the thing that

gets me off the sidelines.

However, I'm PO....

Anybody know if it will run on that raspberry pi thingmajig?

Been wanting to play with it too and it is in my price range.

By the way, loaded python today.

Other than syntax, it appears to remind me a lot about fp 2.6 and seems

pretty straight forward.

Subject: Foxpro 2.6 DOS/dosemu/ubuntu issues

I program internal applications in foxpro/dos because I can run it under

dosemu. Occasionally I run into problems that I am unable to solve. Is

this an ok forum to voice these issues, or is there a better one for

foxpro/dos. I bought vp5 when it came out, but it immediately crashed.

One of my employees also had the same problem (not enough ram, even though

there was about 700MB in the machine. I have just found dos (we use wordstar

and foxpro in our office on a small network) more reliable. I use ubuntu

13.04 and dosemu in my office and want to bring it out but I have

dosemu/network issues.
