Reading and then retaining all that knowledge until you need said

RE: VFP Apps/DBFs with AMD Processor

2020-09-21 Thread Paul H. Tarver
I think we all had a bit of a transition to the Windows UI. I didn't succeed
at it until VFP 6.0. I started with FoxBase, then moved to FoxproLan then
for several years, I used a DOS language called MagicPC (btrieve based)
before switching back to VFP 6.0. it was a challenge, but one well worth the
effort. Today, I'm still trying to wring the most out of VFP9 and I often
feel like I'm still only scratching the surface.

VFP 3.0?

The hardest part for me as I remember it was getting my head around how to
bind UI controls, handle buffering and transactions, and that whole
paradigm. I had never been a VB programmer or anything - I was a C guy back
then with some FoxPro for DOS experience. So Windows UI was new to me.

What's important is whether VFP runs on a given version of Windows. 
This is a single-threaded, 32-bit Windows executable and associated DLLs.



I just love this.  Our "old" tool will work for the unforeseeable

Not much activity lately.

In past years I always heard it's best to have Intel processors on

Have any of you had any problems using AMD processors and Windows 10 with

Any version of AMD processor a better choice?
