Can anyone help me to install foxpro 2.5 for unix openserver 6.0.0. I recently updtae my server from 5.0.7 to 6.0.0. to get an usb tape working, but can't install or run foxpro 2.5, all the programs run on it, need help. thanks or if anyone had a version tested of foxpro on openserver 6.0.0. running thanks for your help

I presume you mean version 2.6.
You cannot install from the original diskettes.
Just create a tar file on your 5.0.7 system.
Note the absolute file names.

Code:

#tar ctvf fox.tar /usr/bin/fox* /usr/lib/foxpr*

If your 5.0.7 system is gone, just restore those same files and directories from a backup.

it's version 2.5 didn't get 2.6 and lucky to me i had another server with 5.0.7, will try with it thanks a lot

Many thanks it works great, had just a problem with foxbase+ 2.1.1 it doesn't work, thanks for you help

We copied foxplus over the same way. Use /etc/perms/fox for a list of the files and copy them from 5.0.7 to 6.0. Check termcap/terminfo entries as well. There are a couple of features that do not work.
We have found a problem, that maybe you could indicate whether it occurs for you too.
Consider the following:

Code:

set talk off
set echo off
set status off
.....
!/usr/bin/myproc
...
...
etc

If this code is run by root, it always works.
If run by a regular user, it sometimes works, and sometimes gives a "memory fault" error, causing foxpro to terminate.
