filePro and Windows PowerShell

[Walter Vaughan]

Got an email from M$ this morning telling me to download and install the Windows 
  PowerShell, so I did. :)
It's not at all like the previous Unix tools that allowed you to use unix style 
syntax and commands for shell scripts, it's more like .net shell scripting will 
full access to the system.

Anyways, fileProODBC does run inside the PowerShell, although it seems extremely 
slow. Graphic updates are painfully slow.

On the otherhand, if someone needs to know if some service is running on a 
Windows box before running a filePro report, this may be just what the doctor 
ordered.

It's free
