Hi, Dragan, Grady.

I've seen the Clipper code converted into C, and of course there were some preprocessor directives where you could just tell it to stop preprocessing any source between two markers, where you could have real C code. That was one hell of a solution for its sluggish engine :).

Since I never wrote anything worthwhile in C, never tried that. The more important reason was, of course, that Fox always had all I needed, so I never really went hunting for add-ons.

In any case, if you need to write an FLL at some point, you can check the last articles from Roberto Ianni at UT Mag during this year or so. And yes, there are a few things that (if you're proficient enough in C++) could be easier or better coded in C++, and then consumed from your preferred language. ;-)

See you,
