I'll have a look at the stuff in XSOURCE.

If you say Sawyer & Booth's code "never needs to be regenerated", I suppose it is alternate RI code that accounts for changes in persistent relationships and so forth. How does Sawyer & Booth's book complement "The Hacker's Guide to VFP6" (also highly recommended here)? Is it worth having both or do they tend to duplicate each other? There are limits to what I or my employer will spend.
