>>it would not be VFP anymore, all of its current data handling advantages would be gone<<
I understand that Cobol is now a CLR tool complete with all Cobol's usual data access mechanisms.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
