Hi Allen,

After writing last night, I jotted down a few more points: Point # 3: as the universe of available VFP talent pool shrinks, businesses that are running FPD/FPW/VFP applications still need coverage, so what happens? (a) work gets harder to find, but ... (b) the price goes up Point # 4: experienced programmers, regardless of language skills, have developed skills that are relatively unique and very desirable in a world still only entering the computer/digital age. A FoxPro programmer is still a programmer, not a stagecoach driver or coal mine. From a high level standpoint, who really cares what particular languages a programmer uses when other things matter even more: - able to think logically (or may I say "think at all"?) - able to deal with unforgiving machines - able to deal with myriad tiny details - able to organize work - able to solve complex problems - able to communicate - able to be patient - conversant in modern computer technologies - etc. Point # 5: how many 'other language' developers need DLL's that VFP can create? Are we lacking in ideas?
