Pro: the language is very stable.

There are *excellent* books, magazines and documentation available for

the product.

(Full disclosure: I wrote some of them ;)

Con: the vendor claims to "no longer support" the product

Question: does anyone know where (or if?) a legitimately-licensed copy

of Visual Foxpro Professional can be purchased? A former client is

interested in doing some further development in-house.
