Ed,
I read Ken's clarification. My feeling is that was intentionally left =
vague to provide the community with greatest flexibility. Kind of =
reminds me of a "don't ask - don't tell" policy.
Since we haven't seen any feedback from MS to the contrary, we're going =
to continue to distribute the UNMODIFIED CONTENTS of the VFP MSM files =
to WINDOWS based platforms using a setup utility of our choice. If we're =
told to cease and desist, we'll look at other alternatives.
Malcolm
