Subject: October rules post and questions
With Carl Zebooker resigning as co-moderator, I've modified the rules
to delete him as co-moderator. If someone would like to be
co-moderator, and eventually moderator (as I'm approaching two years
now), please let me know here or via email.
Also, with Clipper dying out in the US and Visual Objects not having a
huge following, I was wondering if folks think we should change the
rules to put Alaska Software's new product  Xbase++  on topic. Xbase++
is generating a lot of interest in pre-release and is supposed to be a
100% Clipper langauge compatible compiler and linker for producing
Windows 95 programs. It's scheduled for full release around the end of
the year. The OS/2 version has been available for a few years now, but
I don't know too much about it.
And now for the rules!
