FoxPro is alive and well!!!!

And running in .Net!!!!!

And in SQL Server 2005!!!!

And on the Pocket PC!!!!

And on Linux!!!!

Don't believe me? Check out Gunieu. This a a cool, cool project being developed by Christof Wallenhaupt (sp). Imagine writing VFP code using the VFP IDE, then compiling it into .Net and running it on one of the above platforms. That's what Guineu does for you.

I sat throught Christof's session on Guineu this afternoon. He presented it in German, so if I get something wrong from my translation of the slides and demos, I'm sure he'll correct me. (All the German I know I learned from watching Hogan's Hero's on TV.)

After you install Guineu from the .ZIP file, simply DO GuineuIDE.exe. Currently, Christof has implemented about 70 commands, pver 150 functions, and 13 classes.

This is very, very cool stuff. Go check it out.
