No. We played with FPW for a month or so, then decided it's an intermediate release which is almost a Windows app, but not quite. We put together a demo of our DOS app in FPW, and it was good for about one demo - then we never visited it again, because nobody was interested.

Next month, we went to a fair in Budapest and, while at Microsoft's booth, asked about the release dates for Fox 3. That was late 1994, I think. The guys at the booth cast quick looks at each other and just said that they don't know anything about such a version. Then in March 1995 we saw VFP3 beta being demoed - I even got a CD and played with it for a few weeks.

So we practically skipped FPW... and, for that matter, VFP3 too.
