But it might make good business sense to have features that would attract more and more .NET developers from outside those who originally used VFP. Code Magazine followed a similar strategy - successfully AFAIK
>>>Never say that !!! Foxpro is most certainly not dead - there is a lot of it out there still, a lot of maintenance work here in the UK - also a lot of migration projects springing up - the one I'm currently working on has been active for two years plus - which I wouldn't have been assigned without my knowledge of Fox and .NET. I remember people saying COBOL is dead...

>>Becuase you have a handful of people supporting legacy systems in VFP, it doesn't mean its viable. VFP is dead as a technology for developing modern solutions; to think otherwise is foolhardy.

>As far as the magazine is concerned, it doesn't matter whether or not VFP is viable or not. The magazine is a part of this forum. If the majority of members are VFP developers, I think it would make the most business sense to support that membership and add in new technologies. If a small number of members (in relation) are .net developers, why would the magazine focus exclusively on supporting the minority and not the majority?

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.

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