George;

I wish you well on this endeavor. Thoughts of the Connectivity Kit bring back nightmares. Add the Distribution Kit. Imagine how much better it is today and less expensive for users of the Fox to create an application? Just buy a version of VFP and you get all these and more goodies in the box!
