Hi, Antonio

You have tests in a Mac machine with the Tiger version or/and Mac OS on Virtual PC.

I have a PearPC with Mac OS X Panther, works fine in this version too?

thanks

Rochinha,

We use a Mac Mini (powerpc) for development.

We have also done some tests on vmware and standard PC, to check intel compatibility.

It works nicely on both powerpc and intel.

PearPC runs very slow.

Does exists a software like Resource Workshop to design our forms?

Mac OSX provides an "Interface Builder", included for free with Mac OSX, where you can visually design the user interface. It creates "NIB" files ("Next Interface Builder") that will be accessed from the application.

For FoxPro users, we are going to provide support for DO FORM <form.scx> command.

Osvaldo,

Yes, we want that FoxPro users may be able to reuse their existing Windows forms with FiveMac.

Our plan is to provide a form designer built-in with FiveMac, that will allow to modify existing forms and create new ones.

Interface Builder creates NIB files (XML format) that may be also used from FiveMac.

Yes, a true object is created using and providing the same properties.

A pre-release may be available for early january 2007. Price 290 euros, internet delivery.

Excelent...

So, all VFP users, that want to migrate your project will be more easy than Xbase++ users ... atlest the forms files.

Tell me, what is osxpro ?

The function to read and save .frm, will be available to FiveWin or FiveWin++. ?

Again, contratulation to your work

Its an application, developed using FiveMac, for VFP users. Its source code will be available with FiveMac.

Actually its been developed and tested with FiveMac, and may be ported to FiveWin, FiveWin++ also. It uses .scx and .sct files.
