I feel ya. It's hard to move from "Pro" to "Basic". <bg>
The "Basic" that they're referring to, however, isn't M$ Basic, but the
original basic. What this means for us VFP developers is that you MUST
include the THEN in an IF statement and switch to END IF instead of
ENDIF. Not too bad. Plus, unlike VB6, it's fully OO. RB is NOT a VB6
clone. It is its own beast. RB is even multi threaded. Heck, lots of
RB developers develop video games in RB. RB may be of interest for the
developers that are interested in a commercial development product as
opposed to an open sourced product. (It's confusing to me to write that
somehow but it rings true nonetheless.) When I spoke with the president
of REAL Software, Geoff Perlman, he was very interested in learning more
about the VFP community and learning more about VFP as a developer tool
as well.

Kevin,
I just wish they wouldn't call it Basic though.
I think that fact alone pputs many people off. However the product itself is
extremely good. I downloaded the free version about 3 months ago and was
quietly impressed - apart from the inferior (to VFP) IDE which I believe is
much better in the current version.
