I know you all are scrambling for answers when you start getting into semantics.. You originally asked "where is the benefit to using VFP in comparison to other tools" and I responded with a comparison to PHP (the most popular web tool). I guess you expect me to go down the list of web tools?!

>>1) Did I miss where this was a discussion limited to PHP versus VFP? Or are you stating that VFP is the fastest for string processing of the tools available?
>>2) "Multi-threading is multi-threading" I disagree with. However, that is a larger discussion than I have time for this week. That would make a good discussion later on...

>1.) String processing which should be equivalent or better than PHP. So to sum up: VFP is a big bump up from PHP because it is technically better on windows than PHP and does data far better and should be equal or better as far as things like string processing and built in commands. Plus, again, it's real easy especially if you already know it.

>2.) Absolutely, multi-threading is multi-threading - multiple simultaneous threads working at the same time. Of course MTA is technically better but, for 95% of web sites you would never see the difference!

>>1) If there isn't any data involved, then where is the benefit to using VFP in comparison to other tools ?
