My gut feel for the % breakdown in the VFP world? Hmmm... Pre-VFP6 and DOS 10%
> VFP 6 10% > > VFP 7 30% (our first really stable version, and introduction of EXECSCRIPT(), and fewer c6 errors than with previous versions) > > VFP 8 10% (never seemed to take hold) > > VFP 9 40% (a pretty nice final version, other than the 2Gb maximum file limit. Very stable) > For my own situation, here is the breakdown between the VFP versions: > VFP 6 0% > > VFP 7 40% (older legacy code I have no need to upgrade and recompile in VFP9) > > VFP 8 0% (not enough additional capability to warrant moving to VFP8, I waited for VFP9) > > VFP 9 60% (any project within the past 3 years or so, used mostly to overcome a debug bug in VFP7 with EXECSCRIPT()) > Despite my having begun to use PostgreSQL as a back end for larger projects, it is VFP I still use as my primary tool for the projects I engage in. At some point I know I will need to move into a PostgreSQL/Dabo/Python environment in order to fully escape a Windows platform for my commercial data processing and report distribution solutions.
