I'm not doing anything new with fox. In fact I'm replacing many of the old fox (large and small) programs with python. I'm able to save the thinking behind the routines (classes) from fox but not much else. On the other hand I have approximate 500 thousand python developers to help with the task. As you can tell I really like the python community - they are very much like you folks - very helpful.

I'm just monitoring this site now because I respect the people's thinking on this site and they keep me informed on what is happening on the MS side of the world.
