>>True, John, but it's becoming more tedious. I'm going bonkers now trying to run a VFP6 app on Win Server 2008. We'll get it running, but it's a pain.
What's the issue? Admitedly we're using VFP9 rather than VFP6 but our experience is that you copy a handful of files to the machine and it works. Chen's latest compiler even does away with the VFP runtimes- you can distribute just a C++ exe and dll. Since you can compile using any C++ from 6 to 11 you can deliver apps that only work on Windows 7 and later as MS would like, or you can target Windows 95, or anything in between. We're finding that apps compiled using C++ 7 will run on anything that matters.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
