Thanks Matt and others. I'll make my way to the google group. IMHO it's worth considering obfuscation if people are planning to compile to NET: depending how Etechnologia implements functions like SCATTER/GATHER that rely on specific variable names, it would be great to include a declaration that means nothing in VFP but will prevent variable obfuscation when the time comes.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
