oooooo......that's NASTY!!. I dunno...what's worse? Fox by Clipper or Fox by COBOL? At least Clipper programmers have a clue about non-mainframe apps.



>Well, if it's time to see who's legacy code is worst... :) I worked on code written in Foxbase by non-programmers, converted to FPUnix and patched by Clipper programmers and maintained for about 2 years by programmers who learned FPU on that code. Imagine the result... :)

>>I think ALL of us have worked on this conversion. We are getting ready (after the 1st) to start converting some FPD apps that were originally written in FoxBase by a Clipper programmer and have been patched, prodded and pilfered through all the FoxPro's and currently reside in FPW. Talk about yer ugly code....
