I am moving to Linux using SuSE V8.0, and for most of my needs I have found
better applications in the Open Source environment than the M$ stuff I used
to use.

I have however one application which was written originally in Foxpro and a
later version is now written in Visual Foxpro (32 bit), that application is
the genealogy program "The Master Genealogist" and is really the last
windoze program I need to run.

Can anyone tell me if they have been succesful with running Visual Foxpro
apps under wine, I would appreciate any advice in getting this going if
possible. Or anyone using TMG on Linux?

You will need these three patches applied to Wine to run Visual Foxpro
apps. Only the first of the three has made it into the current CVS so far.
