Hey RK - yeah, I knew it was around for years. I heard about it at my prior fulltime VFP job - which was about 2 years ago. But, I was kinda lazy and didn't fully look into what it was really about. I agree - its sad that M$ hasn't released the VFP codebase to let it go open source. I wonder if ANY has ever tried pushing M$ to do so - especially since they recently open-sourced some .Net stuff.
And - yes - my current job is doing VFP. Although - this co. is actively trying to migrate to VB/.Net as front end - and already has MS SQL as the back-end for most of the data - while there are a couple smaller files still running as VFP DBF files. But, yes, I may look around more on VFPx to see if there is something useful that we could use here!

Sadly, it has nothing to do with the core VFP engine being released open source. Happily, there are quite a few excellent tools, including Fernando's Foxbin2PRG, and I would highly recommend poking around there to look for items to add to your toolkit if you are still actively developing and supporting VFP applications. I use Thor, GoFish, VFP2C, ctl32 classes, etc. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Kurt Wendt Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2015 9:49 AM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: RE: New project on VFPx: Bin 2 Text extension Fernando, Thanks for posting this. I had heard about VFPx before, but, wasn't sure what it was about. Since you posted that link, I followed it - and went to the Home page - to find that its about open-source add-ons to VFP9. I am curious. I know that M$ recently made certain things open-source, like some .Net! But - did they ever decide to release VFP open-source, so others could take over extending it? I suspect not - otherwise I probably would have already heard about that on HERE! Just wondering... -K- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ 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/80838f1ca795b14ea1af48659f35166f1b6...@drexch02.corp.globetax.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
