Thanks for the explanation Christof. :o)

>Guineu is basically a runtime library for VFP for existing code. My focus is mainly on preserving investments in existing FoxPro code, because that's what my clients spend over the last 20 years writing. I simply don't like the idea of throwing working stuff away just because it's not cool enough any more. The fact that Guineu is written in C# isn't that important. As a developer you are using VFP to create applications just like before. All you change is the runtime to execute your app on, for instance, a PDA. You don't need to learn the .NET framework or another language to write code.
