>>- AutoInc field type Very useful
>>- TRY / CATCH I am not saying he invented TRY / CATCH, just that he thought enough of VFP to bring it here.
>>- BindEvent Can do powerful stuff
>>- SCATTER NAME Huge too
>>- He got MS to agree to change it's licensing terms of source code variations. It should have been done before, but he did it.
