Hey - I feel your pain! I too am still doing work in FoxPro for DOS - although I put that in quotes since the work is actually done in VFP - even though almost all of the programs are all PRG based (including screens) and have largely not changed since the FPD days! This co. creates SW for the

Hi Jean, Over the past year we've started porting all my firm's batch data processing (non-GUI) applications from VFP, C/C++, AWK/SED, Informatica, T-SQL, and PL/SQL to Python. Most of these applications are more text processing (ETL) than database related with the flat file outputs formatted for
