Yep, well as per usual the Visual FoxPro community is delivering in spades, and I don’t have time to keep up.Dave Crozier joins us with an impressive debut, and I’m still trying to get my head around the incredible GDIPlusX library update that Bo Durban and Craig Boyd have posted on SednaX (soon to be VFPX).Heck, I only just found time to listen to The Fox Show...
