<t>"Since SMB2 you have to depend on having correct registry settings,"<br/> "SMB since ver.2 is not dependable for multiuser ISAM access"<br/> <br/> Other than having to change caching settings for some machines for a while in 20182019, this is not our experience with hundreds of multiuser sites ...

<t>Microsoft have not 'f*cked up SMB for good'. They occasionally break something in an update meaning that things like Visual Foxpro and MS Access have corruption issues - the last time was in 2018.<br/> <br/> We have hundreds of sites running Visual FoxPro with DBFs under current Windows 10 ...

<t>What is an 'Order' in this scenario? A number, string, object ?<br/> <br/> There are many ways to do this from Visual Foxpro depending on the requirement and how much control you have over the external process you want to run.<br/> <br/> You could use Windows Scripting Host, Windows kernel ...

Yes, Visual FoxPro as I say is in the xBase ballpark but fairly different syntactically from the Clipper/VO world. However I would assume it is largely an exercise in creating an Antlr grammar (which I realise is a non-trivial exercise!)

What I meant really was the implementation of the VFP dialect as it's sufficiently different from the Clipper-based strain of xBase.

<t>Hi<br/> <br/> FoxPro user since 2.0 days, along with .NET since version 2. Enthused to see this project, I had wondered why nobody had undertaken something similar although until the advent of Roslyn etc it was probably like trying to hit a moving target. <br/> <br/> I think there is a big market ...
