>Almost all the new features programming wise for IE5 involves XML. XML, XSL, Behaviors (custom HTML tags using XML), etc. HTML 4.0 is the last version of HTML. The future of extending HTML will be though XML and XSL.

That is very interesting news about HTML.

>>>One other question. What do you see that we as VFP developers can do to increase the market? <<

>There is no answer that I know of, except maybe doing all your VFP development for free. <s> It's like asking how we as citizens can increase the DOW Jones stock market level. Packaging VFP inside Visual Studio was about the best solution for increasing the market. For about 1/3 of this years DevCon in Orlando, it was their first DevCon they ever attended. I don't know what percentage of those people started using VFP after getting it with VS.

It was mentioned at DevCon 98 that 10% of the Visual Studio users tried VFP for the first time. I am sure this will increase as more people are exposed to VFP.

I am just tired of hearing people say that MSFT should kill VFP. Mike Feltman sent your message responding to the 'death' of VFP to the FoxShare e-mail list. I will post to all the misinformed people I come across.

Thank you for your time.
