I started with fox in 1988 also. It would be great if most of the present users could come up with a substitute that would run on windows, Linux and Mac and would 'look' as much like VFP as possible, with a framework that would duplicate as closely as possible all the functions in VFP. Also, we need a conversion technique better than those available for converting fpd to vfp. Dabo anyone? I think Python is as good as any language I have seen and can probably do anything that VFP can do. I will not do a significant conversion to anything that is limited to running on Windows. fpd to vfp was my last effort in that direction.

I started with FoxBase/dBASE/Clipper, went all Fox in '88 and ran with it exclusively through '98 (changing jobs, states, marital status, jobs, MVP Awards, jobs, books, jobs, magazine columns and jobs). In '98, I started working with Red Hat and saw the light. My company is still supporting Fox 6 through 9 applications and may even get some of that cool SednaX stuff in there. But now we owe it to our clients to work to ensure their transition to the NextGen thing is smooth. Sounds like another busy decade. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
