>I have been developing application since the early days of FoxBase Mac. Currently, 20% of my work is VFP, with the balance being Excel/VBA. Recognizing that other options have to be considered in the light of the cessation of VFP development, the following features are important to me:
>
>- Unrestricted distribution of compiled EXEs.
>- No installation is necessary if one has a basic application and the VFP DLLs are in the same folder as the EXE.
>- If the application folder is located on a network drive, many users can use the application simultaneously without having to install ANYTHING on their individual computers.
>
>What other development platforms currently offer these features?
