     I'm new to FoxPro. I program in Clipper 5.2x, with basic to
     intermediate knowledge (I think!)

     I'll try to look for back issues here.

     I tried getting brochures from two local suppliers but they
     didn't have any ... they do have the software package though.
     Funny it will be if I buy the package *before* getting any
     brochure. Don't you think ?
     How much are they selling FP5 there ?
     BTW, Microsoft sponsored a One-Day "Software Developer's Day".
     Any ideas why FP5 was not included in the languages presented ?

     Thanks for sharing.
