That's actually the scary possibility, Steve. Fitting the best of VFP into another product might be a great idea in and of itself, and I'm surprised MS didn't do it with .NET, but it's anathema to people with investments in existing VFP products, which were not cheap to create and would be thrown into turmoil if faced with the prospect of another re-write in the short term. > and are looking for a cross platform alternative in a product that is still actively > supported and growing. Cross platform is a major thing, but I'd argue compatibility with existing apps comes first; then cross platform. We get more extensions to the product either way.
