>>Nadya, was it you that just added the numbering? That was a fine idea. The tally now stands at 268 Yes to 2 No, with at least one of those No's in doubt. What we really need now is to hit all of the regional forums. Then it can percolate down to the grass roots in parallel all across the globe. I hope you like my new http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~WillMicrosoftMarketVFPAnnouncements~VFP page. I sure am curious to see how close we can get to the alleged 100K VFP developer count. Wiki should be coughing up blood by then, but I'm sure we can figure out a way to deal with it.

Yes, Nadya. Alex modestly took credit only for having made a single posting, but when I searched Google I discovered that he actually made quite few replies, too. That really helped, because those people (the Spanish audience) didn't get the benefit of a full translation of the related text. I was surprised at how much of the Usenet discussion in microsoft.public.es.vfoxpro I was able to follow, considering that I don't speak a word of Spanish. Now I'd like to see some other multi-linguists supply similar announcements in French, German, Russian, Italian, .... (I'm hoping that I haven't been too subtle about this.) Considering the international breadth of the VFP community, we should be able to produce the third millenium's answer to the Rosetta Stone on the http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~WillMicrosoftMarketVFPAnnouncements page.
