That was the motivation behind Paul and I creating Dabo 10 years ago (yes, it's been that long!). Python is a very flexible language that can do just about anything; in that way it's much like C. You need to have a task in mind, and then figure out how to do it. If the goal was to re-create the VFP solution domain, there was nothing specific out there, so we found all the various parts and put them together. -- Ed Leafe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/signed text/plain (text body -- kept) application/pgp-signature --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/b6c675d7-20e2-4853-abec-282a51207...@leafe.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
