Steve, not sure I understand what you are saying. Perhaps you would be well served by reading the comments of the highly respected and indepedent thinking Steven Black rather than joining the bandwagon of a version 1 product.

As for my situation, yes I am gainfully employed - thank you. Just last night I was working on a bid for an outside contract. That client is extremely frugal and wants his work done as economically as possible. VFP works perfect for what he wants/needs.

Meanwhile, out here off "campus" (i.e. the job market), there are numerous reminders that VFP developers had better move to *something*...assuming, of course, that we like employment. Perhaps Tom Bellmer's concerns are best understood in this context and need not be refuted...assuming, of course, that Tom likes employment, too? Tom?
