Hi Rick,
>With FIC, this is being bypassed.
IMO, same for
west-wind web connect, activeVFP, active Foxpro pages, foxweb, etc.,
and even FoxISAPI supplied with VFP.
>FIC makes your VFP apps and code:
>(1) Not be a desktop app,
>(2) Not be running upon installed runtime DLLs,
>(3) It does not require the user (client) to be running on Windows at all,
>(4) and it does not require the user to be running a developer version.
(1) .F. : a VFP app adapted to the Web with FiC runs exactly the same as before on the desktop (that's why we use 'adapt' as opposed to 'convert' or 'migrate')
(2) not sure what you mean - FiC does require VFP9*.dll somewhere in the path
(3) .T.
(4) .T. - dev needs a dev version just as for desktop dev.
