>>>At FoxTeach during the keynote, an upcoming version of VFP (to be released soon) was shown allowing you to create mutli-threaded DLLs, use a new Session base class (light weight private datasession class, no UI), use the COMPILE command at runtime, etc. This has nothing to due with a new utility posted on the FoxPro web site called the VFPCOM Utility. There is development ongoing for VFP at Microsoft beyond what I just mentioned, and I expect that answers your questions/concerns.

I knew that much of it would need to be there for macro expansion, but I wasn't sure if the rest was disabled or just not there. Ken Levy has indicated that currently the next runtime is a bit smaller.
