The ProMatrix Corporation is pleased and proud to announce that it is one of the initial members of the Universal Thread Partnership Program. The ProMatrix Corporation is the developer of Visual ProMatrix, the premier application wizard for Visual FoxPro.

Thanks to the pioneering work of Michael Fournier, the Universal Thread has quickly become the number one Visual FoxPro online communications system throughout the world. More FoxPro-related messages are posted daily on the Universal Thread than on any other online forum.

I have personally monitored the Universal Thread since its early development as a FoxPro messaging system, and I have been very impressed with both its technical progress as an Internet communications tool and its acceptance by the FoxPro community. Michael Fournier has turned the Universal Thread into a state-of-the-art Internet communications system.

The ProMatrix Corporation will use the Universal Thread as a forum for communications among ProMatrix users and non-users. Visual ProMatrix users will have a dedicated forum with an Internet conferencing format that can be used in lieu of the ProMatrix Developers forum, an Internet mail list. Folks who are not yet using Visual ProMatrix can use the forum to learn more about Visual ProMatrix.

If you are a Basic member of the Universal Thread, you are eligible for a 5% discount on your purchase of Visual ProMatrix or any ProMatrix product. Premier members of the Universal Thread enjoy a 10% discount. The additional 5% discount available to Premier members would pay for your Premier membership if you don't already have one.

Again, we are very pleased to participate in the Universal Thread Partnership program. We believe that the Universal Thread will become a very important part of Visual ProMatrix support. It is already playing a very important role in supporting the Visual FoxPro community.

Best,

Joe Lawson
