Has anyone had experience running a Visual Foxpro application (VFP 7)
running in a Windows emulation environment on a Macintosh?

How effective is that as a means to deploy an existing application onto
a Mac?



thanks,

pete

Hi Pete:

I have never tried this nor have I ever heard of anyone running any version
of VFP for Windows on Virtual PC for the Mac. I will say that VFP was not
designed to run under this environment.

If you don't get any responses from this newsgroup, you might want to post
this question on one of the Macintosh newsgroups. You can find a link to
these newsgroups from the Virtual PC website:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups

Finally, you might want to post this question on www.universalthread.com.
You have to sign up to post a question, but enrollment is free.

I hope this helps.

breta on a Macintosh.

Hi,

I had a client with a Mac environment running a VFP7 app in VirtualPC about
3 years ago.
It worked, but Windows 98 running under VirtualPC crashed frequently. That
had nothing to do with the VFP app.
I think the combined environment was much to heavy for the hardware. It was
very sloooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

There is a Windows Remote Desktop for the Mac now I believe.
