>wwUtils (tons of useful functions)
>wwConfig class (configuration persistence class - supports XML or INI formats)
>wwDotNetBridge (allows using .Net classes from FoxPro apps)
>wwEncryption (encrypts/decrypts data/text)
>wwAPI (provides a number of useful utility functions that access the Windows API or other external DLL interfaces. This class also houses the wwImaging wrapper functions that talk to the wwImaging.dll.)

Thank you!
