I think you're exactly right about supporting the effort. I bought back in March for exactly the reasons you state. Haven't touched it yet as I am waiting for the pioneers to catch the arrows while I concentrate on Strataframe, but I look forward to seeing where it goes.

I am a little disappointed the vfp studio isn't on top of VS 2008 which I love but I certainly don't understand the technical issues involved well enough to know if that was even possible.

I any case, I applaud Hank's efforts (in this and so many other things he's done for the Fox community over the years) and will continue to follow the project with great interest.

>>My greatest concern about the product is the barrier of interpretation inherent from VFP to .NET (such as SKIP). Other sites, like VFPConversion, have indicated that commonly used VFP Code can't be correctly embellished into pure IL.
>>Maybe this concern should be addressed more readily on the main page after reconstruction.

Not because they will be getting rich, but because everyone who is dedicated to a cause is motivated by seeing that there efforts are being used by other people.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
