Jerry,

>OR, more experience than you realize. It's one thing to support a languge and another to make it a religious faith. VB has been undergoing a ground shift and there is lots of discontent in the VB community.

"Discontent" is being very gracious. Most of my VB colleagues are on the verge of mutiny. MS has taken away a lot of backward compatibility and they are really pisssssssed.

However, I remember when Clipper did the same thing. It took some adjustment, but the result was worth it in speed and the ability to compile down to machine code.

How'd a nice guy like you get hooked up with NDOR? When I practiced law up there I had some nice skirmishes with your legal guys (and gals), some of which I actually won.

Regards,
