Well, I can guarentee that it existed in 2.0, 2.5 and 2.6; I made use of it there. I don't have any surviving fragments of stuff that ran under 1.02, but I am fairly sure that it was there as well, and like I said, maybe even in Foxbase+, because I rememeber having indexes that were based on composite keys built on a date and a transaction number fro some simple electronic ordering stuff i wrote for libraries way back then.
