Thank you for your input, Koen. I am still learning all the options of GoFish4. Currently I just use it to search for names. And it helps a lot. I prefer to change and remove manually in VFP IDE (since I don't know GoFish so well, I don't want to damage anything). And I use exactly the strategy you suggested. When I need to remove a class I usually will rename it to CLASS_NAME_2B_DELETED. So the "2B_DELETED" suffix will prevent the class from being used and at some point later I can delete it.

What is "Thor"? (in a few words, please).
