George, thanks for your speedy reply.

Can I confirm one point about converting - you say there is a form converter.
If we were to use this (and thus miss out on VizFox OO functionality) would conversion be automatic. Are there any syntax changes, etc.

When you say
"At least, you'll be able to salvage whatever serviceable code exists in the 2.6 version."
does this mean there would still be a lot of recoding/design to do?

thx (again),
John
