VFP is good and reliable. The app is good in multiuser and I actually do not remember a single instance that I delivered for stand alone usage in the last 15+ years. However as with all the other languages it too depends on the coder writing robust code. With any language there are good and bad coding ways.
If the above codes were not pseduocode then I'd say that I could find few 'not reliable' coding already in there.
