Hi Cyril,

the issue with shrink-wrapped applications is that one usually makes money on yearly maintenance fees; and that leaves you with some responsibility for where it is installed.

From my discussion with BO, there is no way to install on TS and have the runtime remain free.

The good news is that VFP9 allows multiple details, and lots of flexibility in output, etc., so most of the advantages of CR are negated. But it's still a pain.

>>On thing to be aware of before starting with it: when used with a fat client, distribution of the runtime is free. But put that fat client on a terminal server, or Citrix server, and the charge (as of last Friday when I called them) is $5,000/cpu.
