It is worth pointing out that SCO licenses the Fox Software engine in order to produce SCO FoxBASE+, which is presently available. I'm hoping that they'll get together with Fox and work out some sort of a deal wrt FoxPro, especially since that'll be coming out on the Macs RSN. However, FoxPro aside, as long as you're willing to write character-based screens for the Mac code (or separate procedures), you can use Foxbase across Macs, PCs and Unix.
