>>I'm playing around with the idea of moving old 2.x (DOS) code and recompiling it under VFP 8. The 2.6 stuff uses the standard @ SAY/GET syntax. While it works as-is under VFP 8, it's pretty ugly (even worse than the normal 2.6 screens). That's not really surprising, though. Anyone have any suggestions on ways of (easily) cleaning things up a bit? We're actually looking at just replacing the @SAY/GET stuff with VFP native forms but we could probably live with the SAY/GET stuff for a while if I could get it to at least look reasonable (ultimately, this stuff is just going to get completely rewritten).

Download #9450, http://www.levelextreme.com/wconnect/wc.dll?FournierTransformation~2,2,9450 - Alejandro has posted it here long ago. I was working on parts of it initially, and the way this is supposed to work is way superior to what VFP's "native" converter is doing. You get real forms, not Read Emulation Mode forms.
