You misunderstood (or I wasn't clear). What I meant was it'll cost them to bring this to market and I don't think they can recoup that cost through sales to existing vfp people.Maybe they should drop the "VFP" label and market it as a NET productivity tool using an abstracting 4GL that allows you to compile to multiple standards and to re-compile to use the latest technology as it appears.
"... 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
