Not even VFP More like dBASE III, circa 1988.

I knew many developers who continued to code in a dBASE style for many years. If they were even aware of the new capabilities of VFP they chose not to adopt them. Backward compatibility was more important to them than future opportunities. I hope they are all retired or running car washes now.
