Seems like an interesting exercise in risk management. VFP is so idiomatic, it will be nteresting to see how true a translation they can provide. And, of course, you're still stuck with the problem of a single-sourced vendor platform. > Hopefully they get it right. And then you can use it with Mono on Linux... There's a lot of assumptions piled on other assumptions. Python does, now, run on a variety of platforms. That seems like a more solid choice for me. But "choice" is what makes the market work. Let's see how it turns out: I'm betting on the greater investment up front, you're gambling on the translator to move legacy code to a new platform, one that the vendor will, sooner or later, obsolete. Let's see who gets a better return in the long run. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://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.
