>Would make people think it's Visual Fortran... How about Visual xBASE V++, as in dBASE III+? Of course, we now have the BETA version of Visual xBASE VI++...
Idea is accepted but as much as possible, we should start erasing that *xBase* term in the Foxpro community.
What if Visual FoxRev++, where: Stands for Revitalized or Revolutionary??
