That's good to know! Does that apply just to FPDOS, or to FPW 2.6 as well?

It may be just the push that people need to finally get going and port some stuff out of the bad old days. Do you know if this will have any effect on the language, specifically backwards compatibility commands and functions? I still think that some of the backwards compatibility items are at the heart of some problems making VFP a better player in the VS environment.
