It's not the actual VFP application, but the driver that was broken
before. I butted my head against it for a couple of days sometime last
year -- say September? -- before giving up and just installing Windows. :(

I'll give it a shot, but won't be able to until later this evening.

I guess I should have explained in more detail...
I'm having troubles getting Platypus to work. The VFP driver it uses was
causing problems a long time ago (September-ish), but now it just 'runs out
of memory' when trying to contact the SQL server. Last night, it was dying
because it couldn't find SHELL32.DLL, but I copied that in place and it's
no longer complaining about it, but still dying. I'm a bit at a loss.
If I use win98 emulation (the above is with win2k emulation), I don't
actually get any display windows, and wine complains of an unhandled
exception, and starts debugging.
