>Yes and no. VO is discontinued like VFP, with still a good following. Vulcan.NET does not exist anymore. The (x)Harbour guys still going strong. XBase++ we not really sure about. X# who better to have at the helm than Robert, who was on the VO/Vulcan.NET development team and used Clipper since the 80's. He understands XBase and I can already see how he is busy delivering VFP features. Mind you, as you probably see he is just pushing feature upon feature out, and that for a guy who in 2 days is suppose to be at SWFOX... Mind you, X# already support Harbour and XBase++ syntax, it is only the runtime that is still missing, but believe me when VFP syntax is complete it will be relatively quick to implement.

Sorry for another newbie (business wise) question.
I am sure Robert is a brilliant guy. But it appears that every product he worked on is dead. This tells me that the financing for those products has dried up. Then, a logical question (IMHO), who is financing the X#?
And how is to say that the fate of X# will not follow the other products?
