Hello Fajar,

You have a very interesting story to read on here.

Regarding your Clipper application y have to recommend you to check the 
following link:

http://www.xharbour.org/index.asp?page=download/linux/binaries_lin

This is a native Linux compiler almost 100% compatible with Clipper 
code, I had success in migrating all my Clipper apps to Linux without 
trouble, so I get ride of dosemu (and all their troubles related) and I 
get my programs running natively in Linux.


best regards
