Well, there are a number of Clipper clones and a dBaseIII clone (no longer under develoment - DollyBase), but, having tried them all out at one time or another, I would say no, there isn't a replacement. Its a real shame, FoxPro Unix is really useful.

I suppose I could rewrite the whole system in something more modern, it's really not that large, but 'proper' languages are much more complicated and exacting than FoxPro. Suggestions for a suitable alternate are welcome!

Thanks anyway.
