K.,

I suspect that you don't know what you're talking about.

Send me one of your applications, I'll push all the wrong buttons and post
a message about how terrible it is.

Nantucket has far from blown it, Digital Research hasn't blown it, Whitewater
Group hasn't blown it, Digitalk, Inc. hasn't blown it.  If they are profitable
and they move in the direction that they choose to move they are operating
the business as they have right to do so.  They can bet the bank on DR-DOS,
Actor and Smalltalk if they want to and while I'm sure you know the best way
to make money, they are entitled to try it their way.

By all means purchase the FoxPro compiler... who suggested otherwise ?
