>>Check out www.kwems.com . You can download a Power BBS program called Power Access for free. It was written in Delphi. Once you set up PA, sign on to www.kwems.com to get their current dynamic IP address. Then launch the PA program, Edit the Host's IP address and log on to the Power BBS via the Internet. You will be surprised when you see speed at which things go.

Yes, I remember seeing that. But the fact is that we still don't have it. And even if we had it, some applications in VFP which have a top heavy user interface, includeing multi-lingual, multi-colored grids that are fed real-time data from up to ten large databases, can never compete with the speed of a User Interface offered via a compiled application.

I'm still holding my breath for a native foxpro compiler!
