Hey Abb, I've been meaning to get some input on VFP 5 from somebody.
We recently got it where I work and I've been checking it out a little
at a time, as I have a free hour or two.
It is also very new to me as I've been an old xbase programmer from FoxBase
1.0 days. It appears 5.0 can only build 32 bit code, requiring all my
installed customer base to get rid of their old windows 3.1 systems. Am
I correct on this?
Also appears the support files make the distribution HUGE! I did a convert
on an existing APP that was 1.8 meg which grew to 3.5 meg in 5.0! I assume
I can find ways to improve on this, but some hints at such things on the
echo would be appreciated! :-)
