What is it that you would like added into VFP that would make it once
again into a market leading product?
Just my 2 cents worth:
1. Simple integration into SQL and the ability to say just change a
driver that would instantly use SQL tables as opposed to VFP ones.
If you use the CursorAdapter class, don't you have that ability now?
2. Real time debugger with the ability to change code on the fly
without re-running the program
That would be nice. Didn't VB allow for that?
3. Multithreading
I know this would make it a bit for legit, but I honestly don't know
that I've ever come across a need where this mattered for my travels.
4. Inbuilt list processing
Not sure what this is?
5. Free Text indexing aka PHDbase but built in ... This would be
covered of course if (1) above were to be implimented.
6. A cloud class built in to manipulate cloud data
I don't think that'd work with the way Foxpro pulls the info across the
wire like it does. They'd have to retool the engine, making it more
client/server like instead of flat file access.
