I took a look at this a while back and it seems to me that its syntax is slightly different from VFP, but different enough where it would be a pain to convert from VFP to this -- for example, you would need to change all your "equal" signs to ":=". Additionally, it appears to be a strongly typed (declarative) language, so you would need to make sure all your variables are declared AND typed (e.g., LOCAL lIndex AS int).

Error handling is also different, Vulcan uses BEGIN SEQUENCE...[some statement(s)]...RECOVER USING [error messgae]...[Error message]...END SEQUENCE. Quite different from TRY...CATCH...

Probably not worth the money and effort to just get somewhat VFP compliant development platform. Learning C#/VB.NET and "standard" .NET way of doing things probably would give your applications more "future proofing" and you better job security.
