True, I still do new apps on VFP. I tell people that MS open sourced the

product. People are open to open source these days b/c of the cost savings

Fox has always had that advantage. It's especially cool when you package it

with MySQL.

>> Wasn't it the announcement that there would be no VFP10, but open source

was mentioned and misunderstood by some as

meaning the core product, when they meant the Sedna stuff.<<

Not only the Sedna stuff as you mentioned (which was added to the VFPX Open

Source project: http://vfpx.codeplex.com),

but all the XSource (includes Builders, Wizards, and all the XBase tools

like Code References, Class Browser, Task Pane

Manager, etc.), the Fox Foundation Classes (FFC), the VFP localizations, and

the VFP 9 SP2 Help file have been added to

VFPX as well.

When you think about it, almost everything but the core VFP9.EXE file is

open sourced.
