I thought back then this to be part miffed primadonna, part sour grapes and part drama queen.

Perhaps after most developers had Hackfox, Kilofox and 5 or 6 others they were not that eager to buy more.
Couple that with some newer books having less material and high hopes might be miffed -
sometimes really surprising. Megafox for instance is in quite a few areas IMHO one of the best books in their lineup,
but from what I heard did not sell well that well.

Add to that in linux man pages are no1 and another publisher has the place
Hentzenwerke occupies for vfp already taken - it was probably stopped after veni, vidi.

Non-politicians are also allowed to change their minds <g>.

>>Whil has published several Fox books since that announcement. He never quit using Fox or supporting the community, put on his own Fox conference, and spoke at Southwest Fox last year after getting his required whitepaper, slides, and source turned in on time, unlike one person who had been asked to speak, then told he was no longer invited after failing to get things turned in.
