>Search on FoxPro

Ah, thanks, there it is:
"Well, yes; and they use them, sometimes. But I'm afraid I know a lot of corporate giants where it isn't like that. New stuff, sure; it's nicely managed. But there's FoxPro code, there's old Basic routines, there's Turbo Pascal (some of which compiles under Delphi, sort of) and there are all sorts of little utilities..."

Well, we've got some old FoxPro code we want to upgrade.... to VFP6 :)

As much as I like Kylix and Pascal, we won't be moving to it around here unless a miracle happens. Same with VB, or what ever is replacing it.

What we are moving to around here is Oracle backends with server-side packages, talking to browser front ends, which will make us independent from expensive operating system licenses or desktops. And, IMO, if Oracle gets too greedy then PostgreSQL can step in and fill the gap.
