Craig,

Sorry I was using the time between build dates. It has however, been a very frustrating 8 or 9 months though with all of the new C..5 errors especially when you are trying to ship commercial products based on VFP. But now it is looking pretty good. As you review all of the issues fixed and such and the enormous amount of stuff in the product it is amazing sometimes that it works as well as it does.

I noticed you have Cable Modem. Is it a two way cable modem in your area? My friend in Hawaii has two way cable and I thought the savings alone in download and upload time for the cost almost justified dropping my two ISDN lines and moving to Hawaii. It is a wired world. Work from anywhere.

Open source for a lot of VFP stuff would be kind of nice. Since it does take such a long time to get things working when there are lots of errors that make the product nearly unshippable in a commercial environment. Explaining crashes that are out of my control is not an easy thing to do.

I have been using Delphi for a bit now and am impressed with being able to fix the VCL code if it is buggy. It is also very nice being able to pick up all of the Windows Messages right within the app. Plus it's small EXE's are really nice. It just has stinky database access with the BDE. However, it is pretty OOP in the access of the databases and has brought some new ideas to my VFP development.

I've been looking at some ways to expose some of the Windows Messages to my VFP apps and also how to implement the controls as real windows objects within VFP.
