Tracy;

I saw the name Bryce Jacobs. Here is some of the verbage:

"The dBASE Language Handbook, by Lance A. Leventhal, Microtrend Books, 1989; is an excellent reference source for the XBase language because it describes each command from the point of view of several XBase dialects, and before they mucked up XBase with OOP and mass divergence. If you wish to write portable XBase code, then this book would make a great reference if you can find a copy. "

I looked through the site - seems to dislike OOP. Several VB and FoxPro 2.6 (more like FoxBase) examples. Several references to communism; "Why OOP Reminds Me of Communism", advatages of procedural code.

Seems like this guy wants to be stuck in the past. I wonder why someone would spend so much effort writing all this "information". Last time I looked there was a real world outside.

Never argue with emotions or ignorance. This guy seems to have both!

Tom
