>>Chen, working in his spare time in China, has set himself the task of a 64-bit version of VFP and has released an alpha that mostly works. The IDE does most things, some work needed for 64-bit ODBC and a few other issues I forget. He's also ironed out some Windows compatibility issues and 6 known bugs in the 32-bit version in the rest of his spare time.

>Based on what codebase? Doing from scratch is very different than re-writing.

>I find it amusing that there are so many efforts trying to re-write FoxPro NOW. Developer share is rapidly plunging going towards 0 and yet some people feel that it's worth the effort to try to build VFP clones? This mighta been interesting and useful 10 years ago maybe...


How about lianja? It got released this month and according to the company behind it, it can be regarded VFP10. though its philosophy if different as its targeted as a APAAS platform, cross platform, and has a high (not perfect) compatibility with VFP, but also with PHP, JavaScript and PYTHON. I think it will be a perfect tool for VFP developers to depart VFP and make the step to a more powerful and flexible environment.
