>And file copying was invented... when exactly? There was a nice article by John Dvorak about how M$ can't get it right after only 25+ years of trying.
I'm often astounded how the behemoth can't get the simple stuff right. Take searching for text in a file. Has to be a registered file type or it just won't work. The other day, I was searching for some text in some HTML files, which is a registered file type. I knew that some of them contained this text. What does the M$ search tell me! None found. What does VFP's Code References tell me? Quite a few found. Not a typo, either, I double-checked. How long has this been screwed up? Quite a long while, but they just can't bother themselves to get it right.
