>A thought for die-hard VFP developers...
Have you ever seen the movie
1776, a movie version of the musical staring William Daniels as John Adams?
If you fast forward to 6:43 into the movie, after a rousing profession of "I say vote yes, vote yes, vote for Independency," you'll hear someone say to John Adams, "Will someone shut that man up?" to which John replies, "NEVER! NEVER!"
It can be seen here at 4:18 in this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3TGbKfkwGAThis profession by Mr. Adams would parallel my response to you here, Jos. :-) And not in a mean or rude way ... but more in a "I hear what you're saying, and I agree with everything you say, it's just that I have skills to remove that fact as an issue with Visual FreePro ... if only I can find the time, and therefore I still hold out hope (not so much for VFP, but that all of my development efforts in VFP will not be dead-ended)."
My hope still lies in xbase and Visual FreePro as it would remove all stale shortcomings in VFP9, enabling a robust, community-based, future-proof product which will allow VFP developers to continue moving forward so long as C and C++ compilers exist for a given architecture.
Now, we shall see if The Lord allows it to happen or not as He knows well my inner drives and desires to complete this project.
