Anyone using Visual MaxFrame?

I just inherited a legacy app based on VMP. I don't know what version of VMP this is.

From what I can see, VMP isn't all that great. There are alot of PRG's (Why not in
class libraries??) and there seems to be alot of duplicated code.

Add to that the file names are rediculous, ie, 'x1fml.prg', 'x8setcls.prg', 'xxiudlog.prg',
and so on. These names are entirely meaningless and don't help me learn the framework at
all.

There seems to be no central coding style.

And there are really strange functions that don't seem necessary. I'm scratching my head
wondering, "Why would someone do this???"

And, in all of the visual classes there is method for comments called 'zreadme'. Instead of
actually commenting out all the text in here, it's all wrapped in #IF/#ENDIF statements. Now
I'm sure someone thought this was cool to do, but it make searching with the Code References
dialog that mich more difficult because since it's not actually commented out, the 'Ignore
Comments' option doesn't apply, causing the search results to be overblown with references
to items that are not real code lines.

I can see I have a lot of work ahead of me.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind
