Are they going to support JPG formats in addition to GIF?

>>Here's what I could get out of the Monday night session preview of
>>the upcoming VFP6, code named Tahoe:
>>
>>Full support for Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS)
>> o VFP single threading changed to apartment model threading
>> o MTS will manage multiple instances of VFP6 for you
>> o allows VFP to fully participate in Visual Studio as a tool
>> that can be used for building true scalable components
>>Active Documents
>> o Scrollbar property (None, Horizontal, Vertical, Both) so
>> VFP6 will reflect behavior shown in Internet Explorer (IE)
>> o OLEDragAndDrop Property
>>And More...
>> o INDEXSEEK function which allows you to find a key value within
>> an index *without* moving the record pointer
>> o AGETCLASS and AVCXCLASSES to obtain class info without
>> opening the class
>> o all of the file functions normally contained in FOXTOOLS.FLL
>> are now native to the VFP language
>> o NEWOBJECT function
>> o _INCLUDE=
>> o hyperlink component for forms (as seen in Office 97 Access)
>> o GIF file support with preview capability when picking file
>> o VARTYPE function to use with objects
>> o capability to compare form name with _screen
>> o every base class has AddProperty
>> o TRANSFORM function will take any data type and automatically
>> convert it to a string (i.e., no DTOC needed for {09/15/97})
>> o STRTOFILE function (instead of FOPEN)
>> o FILETOSTR function
>> o and much, much more.

>They also demonstrated (another) decrease in load time for vfp6. I wonder if that will carry over into applications?
