Thierry,

You are not going to get developers to scan their code, send the results to you, so that you can determine pricing on a product nobody has seen. The idea of what you are asking is suspicious in itself; it seems like the product is not done and you are somehow trying to see how much people wpuld pay so you can finish it.

It is a simple question. You have been posting on every VFP location known to man. You need to answer the simple question of costs BEFORE anyone does anything.

You do not need a complete pricing schedule, even an approximate one would do. Otherwise you will lose your audience before you even get them.


>Hi all,

>As the result of a 10-year development, innovations and faith in VFP, foxLANWeb is intended to be a commercial product.
>Our policy is to give developers the maximum autonomy to adapt their application, our role being to ease this work through tools, email/forum support and continuous extension of VFP code patterns support.
>foxLANWeb source code will be available through a subversion server for rapid updates, integration with VFP through subFox, and collaborative contributions.
>
>As Tore pointed out, you need to know which adaptations YOUR application needs for FoxLANWeb.
>
>Beginning of september we shall post on foxLANWeb.com the "foxLANWebAppAnalyst" for download.
>This .exe tool will scan your project(s) and identify every piece of code that needs be adapted and what kind of adaptation is needed. You will be able to view/print the result, and/or send it to us
>
>Based on foxLANWebAppAnalyst returns we shall be able to :
>- evaluate the pertinence of our current VFP code support, extend it if necessary
>- estimate the number of applications/companies/developpers willing to jump into foxLANWeb
>- build up a commercial policy mixing software license and support
>
>Beginning of october, you will be able to get a complete view (both technical and commercial) on how to adapt your application to the Web with foxLANWeb.
>
>Sorry for delaying our answer to 'pricing' questions;
>as you understand, we need to integrate/balance development effort, support roadmap and number of companies willing to adopt this technology (visibility on actual VFP market ...)
>
>I hope these details may though satisfy your (legitimate) curiosity.

>Il anyone is interested, we may post additional "under the hood" details on foxLANWeb technology: interaction with wConnect, user state management, HTML generation, event support, client/server event processing, client technologies involved, etc.
