Hi
I am still using DOS Foxpro 2.6 to maintain my organisation data for various departments

It proves how good FoxPro was 30 plus years ago and still going strong.

Ditto with using FP Mac 2.6 to maintain database, inventory, & website.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I'm trying to cut down on the use of shrieks (exclamation marks), I'm told they are !good for you.

I too actively develop in Foxpro DOS 2.6 (Using Doxbox-x for 64 bit systems)

With same codebase, i also have Windows version (No OOP, using @get & @say). Reports are both Windows style & Text based (DOS FR*)

Mike,
It counts if you have a VFP 3 training video still on tape. ><

Some of our clipper 5.3 programs are still in use.
Software should be like cheese : start smelling bad if too old.

There are customers with win 3.xx because the PCs are connected to very special devices.
The PCs are treated very well, dustcleaning, sometimes a new (old)drive or a new fan.
Basically the same as with Deutsche Bahn, see (german)
