Hello all,

I need English native speakers’ help to correct the English text of my
description of User-defined functions LCK Visual FoxPro and the several
comments in the C++ and VFP source code. They will be disseminated as a free
of charge download.

But first I would like to tell you a bit about myself.
I am an author of User-defined string functions. Each day my functions are
downloaded on average by 30 people from around the world.
More than 16 000 people have already downloaded my functions.
My functions include versions for MS SQL Server (7.0, 2000, and 2005), MS
SQL Server 2005 CLR .Net, Sybase ASA, DB2 and Oracle.
I would like to bring to your attention that I found errors in the VFP, MS
SQL Server, Sybase and DB2, which attests to the quality of my work.

The description of each function is similar to the description of functions
in the help VFP. The shortest description consists of several lines, the
longest is similar to a description of a ASCAN() function. In total the
library has about 20 functions, but the descriptions of some of them are
practically identical, as is the case, for example, for search functions of
minimum / maximum values among elements of an array column. Therefore, a help of about 10 people is needed, each one doing only a fraction of the total required work.

If you would like to help me, please send an email to udfunctions(at)gmail.com
(Subject: Help in translation). I will send you a function description or a
line of the comment in source code, together with the library and an example
of usage.
The names of people who will assist in correcting the text will be published
on my page or in the CHM description files, unless requested otherwise.

I am planning to produce a complete description of my functions in French,
German, Spanish and Romanian. If you are proficient in one of those
languages, please write to me at udfunctions(at)gmail.com
(Subject: Help in French translation or Help in Spanish translation etc)
I am also planning to translate the list of functions into other European
languages, as well as into Turkish, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese and
Korean. A help of two people would be very appreciated in that regard.

Thank you very much for offering your help.

Sincerely,

Igor Nikiforov

P.S.
Here is the list of functions from the library.
IFOR() - Immediate FOR cycle.
IWHILE() - Immediate WHILE cycle.
ICASE() - Evaluates the results from a list of conditions.
IEXECCASE() - Evaluates the results and executes the commands from a list of
conditions.
IEXECIF() - Returns one of two values and executes one of two string of the
commands depending on the value of a logical expression.
EXECUTE() - Execute the commands from a string, unlike a macro substitution
can execute the several commands from one string and returns the result.
FIELDNUM() - Returns the field number, referenced by name of a field, in a
table.
DANSLISTE() - Determines whether a numeric expression is contained in the
list of values of type «1,5,13-18»
INCREMENT() - Increments or decrements the value of a variable passed by
reference by one and returns the result
Working with arrays
ARRAYSUM() - Totals all or specified numeric elements in the selected column
of an array.
ARRAYAVG() - Computes the arithmetic average of all or specified numeric
elements in the selected column of an array.
ARRAYMIN() - Evaluates all or specified elements in the selected column of
an array and returns the element and optional number of row with the minimum
value.
ARRAYMAX() - Evaluates all or specified elements in the selected column of
an array and returns the element and optional number of row with the maximum
value.
ARRAYCNT() - Counts all or specified numeric elements in the selected column
of the array.
ASCANQUICK() - Unlike the built-in function ASCAN(), performs a binary
search in the selected column of a sorted array for an element containing the
same data and data type as an expression.
VITESCAN() - Performs a binary search in the selected column of a sorted
array for an element containing the same data and data type as an expression.
This function is more simple than ASCANQUICK().
GETALLWORDS() Inserts the words from a string or memo field into the global
array.
