Includes $50.00 mail-in rebate from MS. Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0. SP1 provides the latest updates to Visual FoxPro 9.0 combining various enhancements and stability improvements into one integrated package. We now have a promising Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 entry in the fancy new Windows 10 Start menu: Yes, but does it actually run?? Now, I finally get to find out if we can run the fully patched Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP2 Version.7423 on Windows 10. A search for 'FoxPro' on the MSDN subscriber downloads page yielded 7 results for me. Apparently, Visual FoxPro 7, 8, and 9 are available from the Visual Studio Professional level.
I use Visual Foxpro 9 now, but many years worked with FPW 2.6a(still yet) however only on Windows. I have read that VFP works also on Apple computers.
Because I consider as a variant to buy an Apple computer (due to music recording with AVID ProTools software - it is my hobby). So, I would like to know if VFP9 Works also on Appple MAC computer. Eventually, if yes, could me anyone recommend what type of MAC computer should I buy? I have not any experience with MAC (e.g. Muscle car chevelle for mac.
If ith has also folders like program files, users, etc., maybe there could be a problem with 32 bit???) Thank you!

Stefan, The only version of VFP that runs on a Mac is 3.0 - a very antiquated version (it came out nearly 20 years ago), and one that never really worked properly. All versions of FoxPro for Windows and FoxPro for Dos were available for Apple computers, as was the even earlier FoxBase.
Tr gp adobe indesign cs5.5 for mac. I doubt you would be able to purchase any of those early versions today. And you will hate using them, given you are accustomed to VFP 9.0. Best advice would be to say with Windows.

At my first Foxpro job, which was using Foxpro for Windows 2.6, my boss had a few copies of Foxpro 2.6 for Mac that he was willing to sell for $100.
This was about 1997, I think. I didn't actually work for him, but he wrote my checks. I worked with a guy working for a company that was under contract with my boss, my boss supplied them with workers. I was tempted to buy a copy, and at times I have regretted that I did not.
The $100 seemed a little steep at the time. I do volunteer work for an organization that runs Macs (and Protools 8 at this time), and would like to be able to run Foxpro 2.6 code on their machines. I imagine it might be attainable if you look, but it might not run OK on the latest Mac OS. Launcher stuck on loading for mac. Yes, the first version of Visual Foxpro (3) was released for Mac as well as Windows, but Mac support stopped at version 3.
RE: Have anyone experience with Visual Foxpro on Apple MAC (Programmer) 28 Sep 14 13:42. FoxPro 2.6 DOES run natively on Mac OS 9 computers. I do it every day on a G4 Quicksilver running OS 9.2.2 as well as a G3 running OS 9.2.2. I also run it on various incarnations of OS 7, OS 8, and OS 9 on Motorola based Macs.
FP 2.6 will run natively on all G3s and most early G4s (mostly those without a firewire port) although some G4s, like the Quicksilver, require a hard to find ROM patch which Apple released specifically to allow 9.2.2 to run on the Quicksilver. The Quicksilver is the fastest Mac that FP will run on as well as the fastest Mac that OS 9 will run on. My G3s and G4s can boot in either OS X or OS 9 depending on what programs I need to run. As noted above, FoxPro will NOT run natively on OS X. Over the years I have accumulated several copies of FPM 2.5, FPM 2.6, and VFPM 3.0 primarily to get the documentation.
Most I have found on eBay for $25 in original unopened packages. Once I got myself covered I quit buying more, have not watched eBay now for several years, and do not know if any can even be found there anymore. As best that I can tell based on my experience with it, VFPM 3.0 was released without thorough testing probably because MS did not want to continue to develop for the Mac and yet wanted to monetize what was already completed thereby releasing a buggy product. As a result, I prefer to use FP 2.6 rather than VFPM 3.0.
Most of the documentation released with VFPM 3.0 was FP 2.6 documentation WITHOUT any updates for VFPM 3.0, which means that learning VFPM 3.0 entails a lot of trial and error to make it work. It appears that MS again did not want to spend money documenting a released product that they were not going to develop further. Mmerlinn Poor people do not hire employees.
