Hi Sergio,I agree that VFPx rocks, I use my self several of the projects and the work of the people involved there is amazing. I don't want to cause any polemic or division about it, is just the way I think and feel about it, and I like to express it. :)

Cheers

>>Also about VFPx, I haven't had the time to send the document, and to be honest I'm not sure if I want to, I don't like the fact of some of them protecting some existing commercial applications and some not, I think that kind of behavior scares and disappoint a lot of VFP Developers to participate. I know anyone can start their own project in Codeplex, but for example if ActiveVFP were accepted in VFPX I'm sure will have much more attention from VFP developers around the world. Also, after reading Doug reply on my message I'm not sure, PDFx will compete with XFRX, FRX2ANY, and all the others. But you never know what future will bring.

>I have to say that I agree up to the point with VFPx non-competing policy. Way I look at it;
>There is no point in developing/submitting Free Project if there is good, reasonably priced commericial tool which does exactly the same or better then what free candidate project could possibly do.
>Just like there is no point in protecting weak (half dead) commercial product by blocking vivid VFPx candidate.

>As far as ActiveVFP is concearned, perhaps whole issue had some personal connotations which we don't really know, so it should not be used as to judge VFPx handling in general. At the end of the day ActiveVFP is out there anyway.
>As for 'Project visibility' in today state of VFP community, it is good to have it but I believe that role of it is somewhat overrated
>(everybody knows already all VFP related products!) and not realy major factor weather project will succeed or not.

>VFPx Rocks by all means, and it is excellent thing happening to this community, so last thing we should do
