I would think that just running a VM does most of what VFP developers are wanting. Free, it's here today, no magic elixir needed.
I'm going to keep testing VFP9 on Crossover Office/WINE but I'm not going to hold my breath. On the other hand, VFP will continue to run on Windows (currently 90% of desktops) until I retire, I'm sure, in 25 to 30 years from now even if it is in emulation. My question is what new tool should I add to my toolbox that will keep CULLY Technologies rolling along for years to come? I really like REALbasic but it's closed source, and it's a small developer base. Even today, the IDE is very VFP like and the transition is almost zero. (Add a space between the END and IF!) Not too many RB jobs out there, however. Python developers, are in VERY short supply and there's a big demand for them in business in various capacities. The learning curve for VFP developers is greater but doable. I just need to do it and develop enough experience with Python that someone will pay for that experience!
