>Once upon a time, you could NOT be a C/C++ coder and be productive with VFP, vb and a bunch of other stuff. As I said, I could avoid coding C for over 24 years. This is a long period. And I do not really wish to untertain myself with the pleasure of setting up a C-to-exe compiler chain in 2018 without a strong reason. What reason? That the testing is worth the time spent on it.

As many VFP developpers of past times, I take no pleasure at training for the sake of a simple test. Of course I can understand that among the die-hard fox addicts, quite a few were initially trained in, say, C or pascal. I expect for them setting up a test environment is a breeze. And I am looking for their feedback. The windows platform is not exactly ubuntu.

>I find it a bit sad that Chen is not more supported by the community. Except for John - thanks to him - the feedback is extremely limited, here and elsewhere.
