>A. Visual FoxPro components are extremely fast, thanks to the data-centric language of Visual FoxPro and its ability to quickly retrieve and manipulate data. Further, Visual FoxPro can build character strings very swiftly. A Visual FoxPro component that works with data and returns HTML will, therefore, be very fast.
So, I guess one might state that the VFP string manipulation functions are very closely tied to the C++ string manipulation functions?!
But how about the low-level file functions? It is my hunch that they too are very closely tied to the low-level functions in C++.
