Thierry,
Well put, clear and concise. Thanks!

To adapt a software to a new environment, 2 main solutions arise: either
rebuild the software for this new environment, or build an adapter (aka
interface, wrapper, container) from the 'old' software to this new environment.
Obviously building a 'container' is a generic effort that can't be done by
individual software companies; and it's against the interest of the system
makers who prefer developers to fully dedicate their assets to a given platform
to get them in-jailed and captive.
Good news from the free economy: there is an economical interest in building a
'container' by sharing a rather important investment between a large number of
companies. This business model has a draw-back: it does require a quite large
number of clients/users to get a pay back. Docker has gone free for this very
simple reason: get a critical mass of users to be 'recognized' by not only the
market but large editors like Microsoft also.
FoxInCloud follows the same rationale: adapt VFP applications designed for a
given environment (Windows desktop) to another (Web browser).
That's why I consider that FoxInCloud, which I used to call an 'adapter' or a
'wrapper', can now be called a 'container' .

FoxInCloud falls right in the middle of the 'containers' category ...
