Yes, that old wOOdy FOXil is still alive and kicking :) After several years of silence and self-maintenance, I thought it couldn't hurt to take a look at ProFox again. In the meantime I checked the 60-age mark, managed to survive 5 years as a freelancer (after the breakdown of the ProLib companies in 2009), and 2 years ago I changed back into employment. They offered me some obscene amount of money to get me onboard to manage and enhance their inhouse software. Finally I couldn't resist, even after sleeping over that decision for three nights.. Thus now I find myself in a 9 to 18 job, with driving 86km each morning and evening (which means starting at 7:30 and returning at 19:30), but I'm very happy with my salary (and 30 days of payed vacations :) ) It could be worse than that .... That one and only application I'm in charge now, manages about 60.000 customers and their investments of about 1.5 million containers (those steel boxes for freight), which are rented out to shipping companies; with an annual turnarount of hundreds of million euros. All managed in a classic VFP9 app (based on the VFX framework). We print about 80.000 sheets of paper every quarter (that are rental statements for our customers) with the help of Amyuni and XFRX, and do banktransfers of about 110 Milion euros every quarter to those customers... Some big money is involved here.. Talking about rounding differences at calculation time :) I'm stil involved a little bit in alternate dev-tools, stil dabbling around in Servoy and Lianja, but due to that VFP job I barely have time to follow those tools extensively. I wish I could dedicate more time into that, but currently I and my collegue are still burried up to the nose with software changes and additions.. Now let's see how often I manage to chime in here :) wOOdy "*´¨) ¸.·´¸.·*´¨) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·´. (¸.·` * .·`.Visual FoxPro: It's magic !
