Foxpro legacy system under Windows 7

Hello Sadi,

Yes, FoxPro Legacy system will run in Windows 7 but the previous DOS and Windows versions will not be available for some reasons. The long-term answer is a rewrite; however, it will be more possible to accumulate a Fox2.6 system in to VFP 9 or to scuttle the original executes in a Windows 2000 virtual machine.

FoxPro Programmers affecting to Microsoft Visual FoxPro from former versions of Microsoft FoxPro will discover that lot of things have distorted radically, counting terms, the programming tools, and the programming style.

 

The difference between FoxPro and Visual FoxPro:

Language

Table and database

Interface

Keystroke

Tool

Screen

Report and label

 

I hope this was help!
