Hi Sergey,

I've used it since Fox 2.x days to keep related or sometimes unrelated programs in one application for convenience. The only side effect of it is, you've to recompile and redistribute such application every time any part of it changes.

I have worked a bit on the way to distribute this VFP standard application on the Web - this one is XMLHTTP fat client - effectively.

I started as a plain-vanilla VFP app. Currently it is distributed as a molebox-embedded application - quite effective in terms of compression. And possible a bit protective in terms of application code.

The application contains 3 distincts applications - here molebox executables - and a reentrant library that contains the VFP libraries and a few dll. Very workable. The program currently can even install without registration. Except for one OCX that refuses the molebox encapsulation.

I perceive this copy-based installation as a significant advantage on highly-restricted corporate workstations. Merci Molebox. The intention is to go bring the whole application in one big exe to reduce the download size a bit more and offer an even faster and more foolproof install, registration-less. Hence the process.

Sure it's never going to be java or dotnet ...
