There used to be a SCO Xenix version that would run.

Did a lot of multiuser SBT based systems back in the late 80's

There is, actually, a Unix version of FoxPro that will run under Linux.

It's been years since I used it, but, barring a few minor issues, most FPD

programs will run straight on import into the system. (I actually don't

remember what those minor issues were -- I used FPU more then 10 when the

company I was consulting for was shifting from a local company to

nationwide, and there were still problems with setting up Windows-based

WANs. But I do remember that the conversions took little to no time to

do.)
