Are you sure that you're not working for eTechnologia? Some of your posts look very like sales pitch...

Otherwise you may be at risk of being banned (see http://www.levelextreme.com/Term.asp#5)

You can compile them as assemblies and then using MonoMerge or Microsoft’s merge tool you can combine them with assemblies written in other .Net languages and using the extender you can have direct access from VFP to all the .Net assemblies. These apps can run on several platforms and if you use strict typing, your VFP code will run 3 to 10 times faster. I have tested this myself and it is truly amazing. You can even debug your applications inside Visual Studio! I just don't get what is left? Not only that, besides 100% compatibility with VFP 9 he is extending the VFP language in some great ways. You will be able to use LINQ inside your VFP code to do things like query arrays and collections. You can have tables that have 1000+ fields and are greater than 2gigs. You can run this code in the 64bit world without having to be in 32bit compatibility mode.
