>Hello everybody.

>On UT Home Page under the article "The History of Programming Languages" (http://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/news/languageposter_0504.html), is a link to a graph with the History of programming languages.
>
>After not finding VFP or FoxPro in this document, i backtracked their recource and found the source: http://people.ku.edu/~nkinners/LangList/Extras/search.htm
>
>In this list only FoxPro V1.0 and V2.5 are included. So i wrote to the composer of the original list Bill Kinnersley and the O'Reilly team. I just wanted to let you all know about this.

>Here is the e-mail i send them (once i get a reply i'll let you know):

>Dear Mr. Kinnersley.

>After I found The O’Reilly Graph (http://www.oreilly.com/news/graphics/prog_lang_poster.pdf) based
>on your data (http://people.ku.edu/~nkinners/LangList/Extras/search.htm) about the history of
>programming languages, I could not find Visual FoxPro (or any previous versions thereof) on
>their chart. Backtracking their data resources, I found your ‘Language List” in which I found
>FoxPro V1.0 and V2.5 from Fox Software.
>
>Being a Visual FoxPro programmer, I was ‘disappointed’ not finding ‘my’ language in this extensive
>list. You will find all information about the history in any aspect on Visual FoxPro at the following
>site: http://www.foxprohistory.org/. This site is not up-to-date in regards to the latest news form
>VFP, which VFP 9 Beta (codename Europa).
>
>Another site where you will find ample information about Visual FoxPro is:
>http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/. This Microsoft site (they bought the ‘Fox’ in the
>early 90’s) contains, amongst other data, the latest information about the development of
>VFP.
>
>I, and I am sure most if not all of the Visual FoxPro Community, would very much appreciate if
>you update your database and graph to include the complete history of Microsoft’s Visual FoxPro!
>
>I will send a copy of this e-mail to O’Reilly, so that they can update their graph and will post
>this at www.levelextreme.com for the Visual FoxPro Community.
>
>I would like to thank you in advance for your attention in this matter.

>Sincerely,
