Guineu

Please note: This is an old blog entry and download from an early stage of Guineu. Please see http://guineu.foxpert.com for more recent information about Guineu and for downloading the current version. Thank you!

Guineu is a FXP runtime written in C#. It comes with a command line program and a .NET class library. Both can be used to execute compiled FoxPro programs without Visual FoxPro being installed. With minor changes Guineu can be compiled for the .NET compact framework. It also limits itself to features available in the current release of Novell's Mono project. To execute FXPs from the command line use:

Guineu.EXE sample.FXP

Currently, Guineu is at an early stage with only a limited set of supported functions and commands:
