Hi Alan!

Thanks! Right you are.. <g>

Say, how the heck are you and David doing these days? I'm busier than I've ever been but having an absolute blast! Might even make soem serious $$ this next year.. <g> Don't know if I'll be in your league though.. *gd&rvvvf*

>>Hi Tamar,

>>>>The forum was started by the late Glenn Hart. He was a huge advocate of the Fox product line. He also wrote some early articles for dBASE Advisor about Fox.
>>>
>>>Couple of comments. First, I'm not sure that Glenn _started_ FoxForum. It was an official Fox Software support venue. However, I think you were around earlier than I was (I picked up FoxBase+ in 1988), so there may be history I don't know.
>>
>>Actually I think he did - as an extension of his duties at Fox Software. I seem to recall that, with Dr. Dave's blessings, this was in response to the tremendous interest in Fox products that happened sort of as a result of Tom Retting switching from Clipper (I think he ditched dBASE for Clipper) to Fox.
>>
>>Also, Fox Software would have had to have been the company that sponsored the forum anyway as that was how CompuServe did (still does?) things anyway.
>>
>>>
>>>On another front, Glenn was the first editor of FoxTalk. I'll never forget receiving an email from him asking if I'd write an article based on something I'd posted a message about. Put me on cloud 9 for the rest of the day at least (though it took me months to actually get around to writing the article).

>>*chuckle*
>>
>>Things never seem to change. I've had offers for years to write but never have really gotten around to it. *shrug* However, I'm working on a nifty little add-on that I'm hopng to finish (prototype anyway) and put out in the public domain. A simple little control but one we're having some fun building here. A young programmer by the name of Jacob Statham is the one who took an idea I had and made it work in VFP. With his help I'm going to extend it and see just how far we can take it and then toss it out. Jacob just informed me that Jeff McKay (our other rising star) was in on the original discussion.

>>Say.. If I get the chance I'll dig out your first CI$ post if I can.. <g> We'll see what was troubling you way back then. <g> As a matter of fact I ought to load all that data up and find the first post of everyone I can.. Hmmm.. Something to do this weekend. < BG >

>>>Fernando - I'm sure you're watching, so to add to the list, the editors of FoxTalk, in chronological order, were Glenn Hart, Lisa Slater, Bob Grommes and Whil Hentzen. I'm the only one who had the title "editor" for FoxPro Advisor.
>>
>>Excellent info!
>>
>>You know, another area to explore would be the beta t-shirts, sweatshirts & two known FP 2.0 jackets.. I have one and Walt has the other.
>>
>>>
>>>There was another short-lived FoxPro publication - FoxPro User Journal (or maybe "Users" plural) that John Hawkins owned and edited.

>>>Tamar

>>Right. There were some others too, weren't there. Cobb?
