FILEPRO ON WIKIPEDA!!!

[John Esak]

Stanley,
The list below is fantastic... in fact, it is really the best, clearest and
most un-disagree-with-able list of features I've ever seen. You and I have
discussed these very things in the FP Room long and often. They are mostly a
small subset of what FoxPro can do. There is no question that these things
are great and they would all be great to have in filePro.  However, let's
consider that many/most of these will not (ever) be available in the filePro
as we know it now... what exactly (if you don't mind laying it out) are the
reasons you still use filePro at all? (I'm assuming that FoxPro does all the
other stuff filePro does *and* these things below (as a matter of fact, I
know this is the case) so what keeps you using filePro for the
application(s) you still have running( I elieve you said it was your g/l or
a part of it. Could it be either qulaifiers or associated fields?  These are
the only two features I can see filePro has the FoxPro does not. If it is
not a feature or features, is it rapid development... filePro is faster than
FoxPro in this regard... I wouldn't imagine that to be true for programmers
equally versed in both programs... this should be reasonably similar. So
what keeps you wanting to help filePro grow into these other features... if
FoxPro already has them all? (and hey, there may be no good answer... just
curious.)
