ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

how can i run DOS and FOXPRO based programs in linux. do i need to compile it in any special way or there is some utility which help me to do so. where can i get documentations on programming in linux. i'm new to linux programming
dosemu might help. It emulates dos on a Linux machine, so no need for recompiling.
Nor mal DOS programs can be recompiled, but might need modification depending on the functionality (i.e. serial port access).
I don't know enough about Foxpro to be able to give another solution.
