Microsoft has made it quite clear that you can't run VFP applications on
non-Windows operating systems. They have in the past, and probably would not
hesitate in the future, to sue people that do so. Also, Visual FoxPro is
dead and is at the end of it's life cycle. Don't waste your time learning
it.
The same most likely applies to Access and VB as far as running it on
non-Windows OS. dBase is antiquated, and isn't Paradox many years out of
production also? There do not seem to be any good database app development
tools that you can (legally) run on Wine.

Subject: Running Windows Database Applications
As it seems that we will be a year or so away from database application
programs for linux like there are for windows (Foxpro, Paradox, dBASE,
Access, Visual Basic, etc.), I am attempting to use windows as a
development
system (on a separate computer) and they copying the application to a
linux
computer (suse 9.3 to 10.1) to see if it will run under wine.
It seems that the testing that has been done on the above type of products
are
only whether the original program will run to create programs, not whether
the compiled program will run under wine.
Does anyone have any experience/comments re: this issue?
