Hi JohnK! Up for air??? - Back to that VFP8 testing, buddy!!!

Seriously though, you may want to suggest that the article be re-worded. Here is the text in question: "The vulnerability could only be exploited if Visual FoxPro 6.0 (or the Visual FoxPro 6.0 runtime) is installed on the system. Other products, and other versions of Visual FoxPro, are not affected by the vulnerability.".

What YOU say makes sense to me (i.e. if VFP7 "registers", for instance,the .app suffix, then it should work for VFP6 apps too.
BUT the text says, as I read it, that if VFP6 is installed you will have this problem.

cheers
