I am late in coming across this ... but as long as we're plugging different genealogy programs <g>, our company makes The Master Genealogist, a family history project manager that is written in FP26 and is being upgraded to VFP. We've also just released Family Tree SuperTools which is an add-on program for Family Tree Maker, Personal Ancestral File, and a long list of other programs. It is written in VFP. We publish our file specs and I'll send them to interested parties who contact me by e-mail.
