Hello Alaska Team

Is there plans to make WAA for Mac or Linux ?

As there are no plans to make Xbase++ for Mac and Linux, I doubt there will
be a WAA for other platforms in the future.

But what is available is the gateway for linux machines. If you have the
professional subscription, you even get the source code for the gateway, so
given the knowledge, y<ou could create your own "mac" version of the
gateway program.

Further, you can develop a cross-platform version of waa1gate.exe using
something like Perl.  waa1gate.exe is a reatively simple piece of code,
albeit complicated by the fact that it is written in C.  In Perl, the code
would be much cleaner and simpler, and using Apache/mod_perl would be just
as fast to launch (possibly faster).

Hi Osvaldo,

>Is there plans to make WAA for Mac or Linux ?
not as far that I know off
But I did hear of different people who had success running xbase++
application on Linux using wine. This may be a solution to you. Most
problems seems to be related to the GUI, and as you are making a web
app that would not be a problem!

Well The thing is that my client doesnt want to install :
winne,virtual pc or any other.

Pure, program in mac or linux.

I am geting in trouble, with my database of my POS
So I want to do, that the Xserve do more things that only
file server, I mean, run reports or process that the XP terminals want.

as example.

Some user want the sales of some drug stores between dates:

I do this :

1.- Read for each drug store the first date until the lastdate.
     ( each day is a dbf file )
     Filtering only types "sales" on my dbf files.
2.- Make a big temporaly file.
3.- Then process with some function
4.- Report it.

I was thinking if I only send to the server the paramters that
need to make my my big temporaly file, so then I report it.

The other thing the I did, is every day add to a table on mysql
each info, of all POS's, but , My querys isnt enough fast that read each 
file one by one. and when I had the cursor ready, I need to make some 
other functions like relation to another dbf file, to report it.

So, image that I have ready the cursor or select, become the reports.
Actualy my report R&R 9.xxx I have some reports that sumarys, etc, etc.
If I migrate all my admin system, I need, re-do all my reports.


Well all thing are in my head

Thanks guys for reading me.
