I actually *think* that FoxPro gets a fair amount of use in India these days - there is a possibility that some over there are adding it their arsenal - but like you said I bet more are adding COBOL.
COBOL still accounts for more than 70 percent of the business transactions that take place in the world today and with over 220 billion lines of COBOL in existence it accounts for about 80% of the world’s actively used code. COBOL programmer numbers have been dropping, so frankly it would seem that COBOL wouldn't be such a bad thing to know because it ain't going away anytime soon and odds are you could always find a job. I've done COBOL in the past but I didn't care for it much - but hey ya never know, maybe I will end up back on it someday lol.
