Nowadays we don't bother to maintain the name, as FoxTools functions are now indeed forever part of VFP proper. Functions like just*(), addbs() and a few others appeared in FPath.plb first, then in foxtools.fll, and then became part of the language. There are still a few usable functions there - specially the _ed* functions.

>Don't forget one's like RGBComp()

I always forget that one :). Probably because I've long ago written my RGB2HTML (and then saw that at lest six other people wrote theirs :). But right, with RgbComp() it becomes a two-liner - one to initialize the parameters, the other to call it. Anything else looks kludgy, even if it can fit three lines.
