# FoxDev Studio offers 64-bit runtime for existing Visual FoxPro applications

_Published Tuesday, September 22, 2026 at 9:17 PM EDT · Products · Latest · Tier 2 — Notable_

FoxScript has made nightly prerelease builds of FoxDev Studio available, offering a from-scratch 64-bit runtime designed to open and modify existing Visual FoxPro projects, forms, tables and reports without conversion. The compiler and bytecode interpreter are written in Rust and run through WebAssembly.

The system reads and writes FoxPro files in place and uses a separate 32-bit process for legacy FLL libraries. Tables can exceed FoxPro's two-gigabyte limit, but files enlarged beyond that point will no longer open in Visual FoxPro.
