1. Full functioning memo fields,
2. Scrollable fields,
3. Updateable grids,
4. ODBC with read and write capabilities,
5. SQL with read and write capabilities,
6. Independence from having to "stand on a record/table" to do things,
7. Independence from expensive runtimes,
8. Use of triggers and events from the "referential integrity engine" that
ensure data integrity is not compromised by back door screens, processes or
programs,
9. Ability to create tables completely via code,
10. Ability to completely modify table structures, relations, triggers and
events completely via code,
11. Ability to create modern user interfaces,
12. Printer definitions maintained by the printer vendor,
13. Blinding ad-hoc and full text search,
14. Creation of on the fly updatable cursors, views and tables,
15. 

Need more...  just let me know, and I'd be happy to spill them out, anything
that can keep filepro alive and competitive.
