Uh, Bill... we need to clarify *your* comments now. :-) >Bill Sanders said: >The EXE that is Sedna , that ADD ON program requiring the VFP9 runtime >modules, will be released free of charge.
Sedna is NOT an EXE. Sedna is a collection of classes and XBase add-ons, plus some VB .NET code that add capabilities to VFP9 without touching the "core EXE." You got it right that Sedna is an "add on" to VFP9 and that it will be released free of charge to VFP9 users. In addition, Microsoft will release Service Pack 2, which DOES touch the core bits as well as many parts of the platform, including enhancements to the report engine and report classes. Microsoft will NOT release the source to SP2 that affects the core EXE, but as has been their practice with previous releases, will provide the source for any xBase pieces that SP2 touches (XSource folder). According to the VFP9 EULA, those components can be modified and shared with the community. >The SOURCE code to Sedna, on the otherhand, is still questionable as to >whether it will be released. There is no question about the source code to Sedna. It will be released, according to YAG's public statements. It is all, after all, just add-ons to VFP9, not the core EXE. The source code for the VFP9 EXE will NOT be released. Maybe that's where the confusion came in. David Stevenson, VFP MVP http://talkingfox.blogspot.com -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
