>In his FIRST sentence, quoting: "The official MS policy, as stated to me by Ken Levy, is that MS does not release a bug list or

In the first MESSAGE he asks:
My IT directory wants to know all the known bugs in VFP9.0, before we go forward.>Why have you pursued this SILLY line of questioning anyway??????
Sorry you interpret it that way. I don't think I pursued a silly question. I only noticed that there was a misunderstanding by you of what Dean really asked.
