>>I guess you didn't hear that this time M$ killed VFP for real. And UT has nothing to do with it.

>>>Well, I'm here to tell you all that the UT is NOT the center of the VFP Universe and that most of you have zero idea of the big companies that maintain and enhance very large VFP apps.
>>>
>>>I work at one of the largest banks in the world with over thirty VFP developers (some are now managers, VPs) on, arguably, one of the largest VFP SAR apps in existence:
>>>
>>>(1) 1400+ screens
>>>(2) Over 700 branch offices
>>>(3) Dozens of .NET web services supporting the core VFP product.
>>>(4) QA teams in India
>>>(5) etc., etc., etc.
>>>
>>>All told, there are over 1,000 employees and contractors that support the project in one way or another. The Bank has NO plans (let me repeat, NO plans) to migrate the core VFP product to .NET. or any other platform - they have been unsuccessful numerous times over the years. There is one person on this thread who knows about this project.
>>>
>>>The funny thing is that of all the VFP developers we have, only two or three have ever HEARD of the UT. In fact, of the many dozens of VFP programmers I have worked with over the years, I estimate that roughly 10% have heard of the UT and maybe 2% are actually members. Can you blame them? Who wants to read these stupid "VFP Dead Threads". I have been in and out (out mostly) of the UT for many years and nothing has changed.

>Still running Cobol on the Honeywells too? They'll make a comeback some day. Tube memory still beats the crap out of those little transistor do-jobbies.

Cobol is still the king - used more than any other language.
