My bad. I deserve an answer right out of Airplane: Ted Striker: Mayday! Mayday! Steve McCroskey: What the heck is that? Johnny: Why, that's the Russian New Year. We can have a parade and serve hot hors d'oeuvres... But what I meant by "what is that" is "So, what compelling feature would an IronPython get everyone really interested as an Xbase Replacement?" My point, from earlier in this thread, was the FoxPro is the world's most awesome desktop database application development environment, as long as you're willing to stick to the Windows platform. And replacing it is a challenge because it's an IDE, a debugger, a programming language (or three: XBase, SQL, LLFFs, TextMerge, and more), a compiler, a local data engine, a graphical design language, a report writer, and... well, more. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CACW6n4tDSB09=z71rajq93-3dwccsqxqkwj+dhxwggmghrc...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
