>>Among other things, Sage cited Microsoft's plan to stop supporting VFP as a reason.

>>Between 1995 and 2000 many of us were keeping large staffs busy selling and supporting Pro Series. It was, and still is, one of the most versatile accounting systems ever developed, principally because Bob Davies, SBT's founder, had the vision to supply source code with the product.

>>

>>Pro Series can now join him.
>>
>>Under the "What will these guys stoop to next" heading the announcement from Sage urged Pro Series customers not to drop their annual support payments although Sage will not longer be selling or supporting the product.
