Questions tagged [foxpro]

FoxPro is a programming language and DBMS originally created by Fox Software, and later sold to Microsoft. It refers specifically to the procedural languages versions, up to 2.6a, released for DOS, and later MS-Windows, Macintosh, and SCO Unix, and not the 3.0 and later releases, called Visual FoxPro, which have object-oriented language features.

FoxPro is a programming language and DBMS released by Fox Software in 1989. It was based on their prior program, FoxBASE, which was a clone of DBase III. Various versions were released for DOS, MS-Windows, Macintosh and SCO Unix. Microsoft purchased Fox Software in 1992, and in 1995 released a new version with object-oriented features, called Visual FoxPro. Many people still refer to the product as "FoxPro."
