I remain hopeful that KG may write an article for one of the VFP mags. Under the circumstances, it's difficult to imagine which it might be. ;-) IMHO his primary interest in SQL Server/SPs is extremely pertinent to much of the real VFP community and is enough by itself to cause some of us to shell out $.

At the risk of seeming provocative ;-) I'd quite like to see an article on running VFP on Linux. I realize that the licensing implications created waves a few years back, but VFP's shrinkage changes everything: presumably there are lots of unused VFP development licenses out there, each of which allows installation of VFP/apps on one non-Windows server/computer. Perhaps VFP developers might like to buy a few? Or if you can get a VFP6 license, I'm told the licensing restrictions don't exist at all. Perhaps the people who were so disappointed to have their efforts thwarted some years ago can be motivated to renew their interest.

I'm also interested in the NET Compiler/Guineu. There are people like Pertti Karjalainen who seem to have taken a particular interest in some of these areas and might be very willing/excited to write an article.

I suspect that these sorts of ideas are what KG was referring to in his comments. Actually I thought he was trying to be helpful. Oh well.

I'm assuming you're not going to come back at me instructing me to address myself to the Editorial Board rather than to you. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
