Hi Peter,

>>MUMPS was (is ?) a technical product which I personally compare with VFP.<<

M is still alive, although now called Caché (More preceisely, Caché is supposed to replace M). We have one developer in our local user group who changed employers and now works with M in his new job. From what he said, MUMPS actually outperforms VFP in several areas. And, of course, you can really write cryptic source code. :)
