>>>I am confused about your answer. FoxTalk is still being published. And Advisor still publish Access/Office/VB Advisor magazine.

>>>As for relative number of subscribers, I would guess Advisor has a higher circulation than FoxTalk just based on price alone. FoxTalk is slightly more tha $10 US per issue for a 2 year subscription (almost $15/issue for 1 year). FPA subscription rate is only $49/12 issues, $139 if you include the companion resource disk option. FoxTalk rate includes a web download site to get the examples provided in the articles. FPA with the companion disk brings the price up to where FoxTalk is.

>>>Usually the Advertising departments of any publication will provide circulation figures to anyone interested, especially to those inquiring about advertising space. One thing to be aware of is that their figures will include how many are sitting out in newsstand racks that may or may not sell.

>>The initially released magazines were FoxPro Advisot, dBase Advisor, and Clipper Advisor. Of these 3 only FoxPro Advisor is still being published.

>So what's all this garbage talk about the future of FP? I guess the demise (?) of Clipper maybe be part of the reason I am having to convert legacy Clipper apps to VFP apps? :)

I've had the privelege of talking to some Clipper developers and they realize the future is Windows. Unfortunately, when Visual Objects was released apparently it was just like Clipper (lots of bugs and inconsistencies). So these Clipper developers and users are looking at Visual FoxPro instead. I just hope they can get used to the lesser number of bugs.
