>>When .NET finally delivers "...automatic memory/disk spanning..." cursor-type data access they'll (have to) tell us that such stuff is for the hobbyist newbie anyway.
Or maybe they'll hail it as another fabulous dotNET innovation that will never make it into clunky old VFP ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
