Hi Mike

I think the set Path/classlib approach to store the info in a single string
is suboptimal. Adding 1 vcx consumes about 50 bytes (in this special dir structure),
and if I remember correctly the length of set classlib was 8KB.

Now imagine some users and developers going wild over long path names -
not a nice idea. Path and classlib should be handled via cursor or array.

Ok, I will periodically disconnect, if that helps your ESP ;-)

Performance "motivated" me to use createobject against
open classlibs - but I haven't rechecked after vfp6.

Pls. keep me posted

thx
