You'll get no argument from me about that. The situation here is a tad more ..ehrr.. 'interesting' than that. <g>
I hate having to work with the old stuff candidly. It's a pain. Still, sometimes we don't have a choice.
The funny thing here is that in an entirely unrelated incident today a friend called me and asked if I still had a copy of FOXPLUS.EXE 2.10!! "Ehhrr.. No, not right off hand" I said. <g> He's going to borrow a copy so he can make the mods for the client. Go figure....
Best,
DD
A man is no fool who gives up that which he cannot keep for that which he cannot lose.
Everything I don't understand must be easy!
The difficulty of any task is measured by the capacity of the agent performing the work.
