[Rlib-users] RLIB Foxpro??

[Jeremy P. <je...@po...>]

Hi there,

I am in the process of converting foxpro (and some old dbase/clipper) 
apps to PHP/MySql/PgSql and looking for a decent Open Source Report 
Designer/Reporter came across your library.

I guess from the reference to foxpro and the usage of foxpro style 
functions in the rlib library that somewhere along the line foxpro was 
used by the authors, so my question is, Is there a way to convert Foxpro 
Report (fr?) Files into the required XML files for use with RLIB.

I suppose I could write one myself but if anyone already has one why 
reinvent the wheel.

Regards
Jeremy Pointer

Guilty!  RLIB was specifically designed with FoxPro In mind (I used
foxpro for years)

I didn't however write a conversion. I last left foxpro on 2.6 (DOS
BASED) 

RLIB can do a lot more things then FoxPro's report generator so
sometimes a 1:1 conversion isn't always the "best" solution
