Keep in mind this is still very early days, but will try to give some

examples:

local i

for i = 1 to 10

  ? i

  if i < 5

    ? "Less than 5"

  elseif i = 5

    ? "Equals 5"

  else

    ? "Greater than 5"

  endif

  do case

    case i < 5

      ? "Less than 5"

    otherwise

      ? " >= 5"

  end case

  // Here is a new one...

  switch i

    case 1

      ? "Equal 1"

    case 2

    case 3

      ? "2 or 3"

    otherwise

      ? "Not 1, 2 or 3"

  end switch

endfor

Other VFP specifics like TEXT/ENDTEXT, WITH...ENDWITH are already

available.  Most XBase commands are implemented and work in the other

dialects, but might need some tweaking in the VFP syntax.

What is currently not working is DBC, VFP class declaration syntax

(planned for next release) and the UI designers.  They are all high

priority though and should get a lot of attention now that the X#

runtime is 99.999999% complete.

HTH,

Johan Nel
