That is a very interesting question. I would say that FoxPro for me is sort of a way of life. I started out programming in self-defense because I couldn't find any off-the-shelf tools that would perform the services that I needed done. Like many, I started with dBase and migrated to Foxbase when it became clear that Ashton-Tate had lost their way and that Dave Fulton was going to move the language forward.

I fooled around with Pascal and C in the mid-eighties, but I have yet to be exposed to a tool that can deliver user-productive modules as quickly, easily and solidly as FoxPro. I might add that I have never heard of a development community that collaborates and supports each other the way that the FoxPro community does. I think it says something about the language that it attracts people like you, Menachem.
