I'm not certain, Gene. The last paragraph of the review refers to

"true .EXE compiler," implying that FoxPro's wasn't. But the only

were substantially smaller than FoxPro's.
As I said initially, with the Arago Quicksilver compiler for dbXL, you
got one self-contained executable. No separate runtime file, no
requirement for any dll dependencies like you have with VFP.
It would take 15-20 minutes to compile a moderate-sized project on a
386 40 MHz machine.
I recall getting dinged for VFP's runtimes back in the late 90s/early
2000s. Ridiculous, especially given where we are today.
