Access Visual Foxpro Tables(Vfp Dbf) from Linux

It is one of my first posts in english(recovered from: http://www.linuxforum.com/forums/index.php/topic,137025.0.html): I don't know if it is new, but today, alfer a large week of intensive research, finally i had discover a way to access visual foxpro databases directly from linux. What do you need? download, compile and install CLIP from http://sourceforge.net/projects/clip-itk/ then put the vfp table into the same directory of the next script:

file: testdbf.prg

use dbftable
list columnname


Next you need to compile with: 'clip testdbf.prg' and link for execution with: 'clip -e testdbf.o'

And Enjoy!
