Visual Foxpro Tables ( Vfp Dbf ) Access From Linux

[berenguer]

I don't know if it is new, but today, alfer a large week of intensive research, finally i had discover a way to access visual foxpro databases directly from linux. What do you need? download, compile and install CLIP from [a href=\'http://www.itk.ru/english/download.shtml\' target=\'_blank\']http://www.itk.ru/english/download.shtml[/a] then put the vfp table into the same directory of the next script:

file: testdbf.prg

use dbftable
list columnname


Next you need to compile with: 'clip testdbf.prg' and link for execution with: 'clip -e testdbf.o'

And Enjoy!

I have not time to port it dbf support to gnu c++ libraries, but i'm sure that somebody in opensource comunity will found it interesting.

Sorry for the english, i'm spanish native speaker
