Great! I just hoppe it's as good as you say it is. This way it would create a comnpetitor to Fox. VFP's development was ended by MS because of it's lack of competitors.

Who knows. This could revive VFP's development.

F.ex. what I found from the posted letter "Support for CallBack Functions. One item that has been on the wishlist for a very long time is support of callback functions." It has also other VERY powerful features like instantly internet support etc. all that are definetly worth for looking for. And I really know as I'v been with fox since 1984 :) .

>P.S. Another thing on te newest letter was the next one: We are in the process of adding support for high precision numbers to dBASE Plus. We are now integrating a library from IBM (called decNumber) which implements high precision decimal floating point math with precision up to 34 significant digits. In addition, this library also supports arbitrary precision BCD (binary coded decimal) math - supporting up to 1 billion significant digits and exponents up to 9 digits. Precision for once :)
