I have a client for whom I maintain a DataFlex application. (Anyone remember DataFlex?) I would like to convince them to rewrite the app using a large FoxPro application that I own as a base. I'm worried about the question:

Why would we move from one deadend language to another deadend language?

A VFP.NET would remove that worry.
