If you're talking about UI Programmer by WallSoft, that was actually one of the most interesting products of its day. Essentially, it was a tool that let you roll your own code generator(s). It was designed for pushing text around and could be theoretically adapted to any language based on text files. At one point helper modules were available for C, as well as xBase.

WallSoft's "The Documentor" was the best source documentation tool I had the pleasure to use in the pre-FoxPro 2.0 days. Anyone know what happened to that company?

>>I may be looking at converting an old Fox DOS system to VFP written using the UI utility. The UI utility basically is an interface for building fox screens and a data dictionary back then before 2.0 dos. It's a pretty cool tool but for that age only. I've never used it before. I think UI was written by the guy who wrote Clipper. Is there a way I can covert this stuff to fox dos 2.6 screen formats? Thanks in advance.
