>Also, as Mark pointed out, our main focus these days is Stonefield Query, which is selling like hotcakes.
And as an independent, objective source, I can vouch for what Doug says. He appears totally committed to SF Query. Last year, I was hitting a series of defects, and over the course of a few days, he nailed them all.
It's a very good product, and you can't beat the price.
And yes, MM for VFP is basically stagnant (I use it), but it is also very mature.
VFP keeps coming back to life. And if VFP 9 is it, so what. The tools that exist are so strong (like everything from Stonefield), and the language is so powerful, that I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to continue to work with the language for years.
And to add to that, some of the best minds in the software engineering world regularly say that developers should constantly be learning new technologies (Beck, Fowler, etc.). Add some C# or Java to your bag of tricks, and you'll have 2 languages. That way, when C# dies, you'll be able to come back to VFP.
