We still have many clients on our old dos program. We recently figured out a way to configure Win7 to run it perfectly so it has at least another 5 years. We have one programmer who works almost exclusively on fpd 2.6a. For creating reports and statements it will run circles around VFP9. I'm not knocking VFP9, it is what I work on and I have no interest in working on fpd. Just to say fpd is live and well and it works great for some people. Recently someone was talking about a 'heads down' data entry program. FPD was made for that. Given 10 data entry people and tons of data and FPD is a good tool for the job.

Great client who runs his entire operation on it. In fact, have several clients (mostly intermittent ones) who run huge operations on FoxPro for DOS. Oh yeah, we are extending it, both with FPD and VFP. Killer combination until we get some spare time to rewrite it. I know other developers who are doing this as well. I would be happy to take a look at the FoxPro DOS opportunity if you have it still. Please send it to me privately.
