Guineu means Fox
If you haven’t discovered yet, the Foxpert himself, Christof Wollenhaupt, is engaged in an interesting and important extension to VFP9: Guineu. It is billed as an “alternative runtime library for Microsoft Visual FoxPro® 9.0 that runs on any Microsoft .NET compatible platform”.
Hopefully I’ll be able to take a closer look by participating in some beta testing.
Oh, and yes, according to Christof:
Guineu is Catalan, a language spoken in Northern Spain, Andorra and some parts of France. La guineu (it’s female) translates to “fox” in English. When pronounced the “U” is silent and “E” and “U” are two separate vowels.
…guineu does means fox!
