Kurt, The great thing about VFP is that you can learn the language.... not possible with .Net interfaced languages that are basically all macro driven. I love the fact that by learning about 100 key function calls you can do in excess of 90% of all your work and easily find the "special functions" when you want to.
The same goes for Pascal which is why I used to love it along with the earlier Algol 60 that I learnt on followed by Cobol and Fortran 4. Simple core languages with sophisticated data handling.

Hey Christof - I do agree - unless picked up by 20-somethings considering VFP now Hip - it won't happen. Too bad. Since, it could be a simple way for many people to just dabble in making small database programs for personal usage. Whether its for making simple phones/addr book, database for recipes, or sports scores - the possibilities are endless - and designing w/VFP can be Quick and easy! Downside - this forum could get BLOATED w/Newbie questions - which might drive people here a bit Nuts... :-) -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christof Wollenhaupt Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 7:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Look at this, How about a VFP Extension.... > > I only wish they would have a change in the mindset about doing the > same with VFP (no chance I guess) but the signs are encouraging nevertheless. > Just noticed that Christof has posted in another thread.

Unless FoxPro / xBase suddenly becomes a hip choice among twenty-year olds I don't see anything happen at all. With regards to other's doing something there's been a constant stream of small and larger projects that want to provide a way forward for VFP developers. None of those has yet emerged as the generally accepted solution. -- Christof --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
