What is VFP ?.. Did eveyone somehow forget where Fox came from and what Fox is...., is it not a clone of Dbase III+ ? done Better/ Faster Smarter with more toys.?
Sure, Today, with MS's help, (lots of it) its now MUCH MUCH more, But it wasnt for a good deal of compitation, with Fox outrunning the leader Ashton Tate, We would all be now using what ? Clipper / Dbman ? Dbase 7 ..
