The developers who created it and have been employed over it's life purchased the product from Borland???

http://www.dbase2000.com/ is the new cyber home to dBase. Looks like they have taken hold of the product and are moving forward with it.

As to Shut Up and Code. I mean it. Nothing personal, at all. Bitching amonst ourselfs does nothing. We are the choir.

Now organizing a letter writing campagain, and I don't mean e-f'n-mail, is a start to do something more than raise our awareness. I would gather that we are very aware.

If I have to learn new syntax for a new language to keep food on my table, so be it. That's life. I won't help myself nor my family by crying over it.

Did you ever program in another language before you found Fox? If yes, then you have done it before. If not, like every other widower/divorcee you'll get through it.

I have a parabole for a new thread on this issue.
