<DIV>My best guess to the answer of how long until fP could really modernize is<BR>> that it depends on revenue from sales. If there are not enough product<BR>> sales then there won't be enough money to subsidize development. It's <BR>> that<BR>> way with any software product at any company.<BR>><BR></DIV>

<DIV>Well while I agree with what you said, my take is Fp did speak about the <BR>future, and it was biometrics, not File Pro. And lets be honest, File Pro is <BR>so far behind the times, it would take and enormous amount of money and <BR>effort to bring to where it needs to be and to what, go head to head with <BR>Oracle, Microsoft, and IBM? Might as well put a gun to your head. <BR><BR><A href="mailto:tony@vegena.net">tony@vegena.net</A></DIV>
