How long would it take you to do a

Windows version once you decided on it?

If it’s still in the consideration stage,

sounds like we’re talking a year from now,

at best.

Hard for me to say. This is all

hypothetical, of course, but I would think

it would be several months at a minimum.

I think we will do one evantually, but I am

not going to even hint at a time frame.

...It is frustrating, though, to have this

environment that works so well and is so

powerful and friendly, but has such a big

hole in it - xbase management. It’s got

Word for Windows, Excel, Pagemaker,

drawing programs... everything I need ex-

cept a solid, fast Foxpro.

...Anyway, using these Windows apps

doesn’t “make” me work better, but it sure

_let’s_ me work better. For a start, I’m

doing things people have done in

Desqview for years I never got into

Desqview because it was so technically

intimidating to me, but I’m doing these

things in Windows by just doing them - no

esoteric tweaking (although I’m sure

that’ll come). Plus Windows adds inter-

program possibilities between Windows

apps that Desqview couldn’t.

The example I gave earlier is still the

most mind-blowing so far: Superbase 4

comes with a WFW template that, on

opening, finds SB4, starts it if it’s not run-

ning already, opens a name-and-address

database, and inserts the name and ad-

dress from the first record in the

template’s letter. On Word’s menus, the

template adds options to skip forward and

backward in the database, change in-

dexes, search for a particular record, etc.

These capabilities have powerful applica-

tion for my business and users to make

their jobs easier and the computer more

friendly and useful.

You can run Windows 3.0 in real

mode with QEMM, or 386ttm, but not in

any other mode (enhanced 386 or stand-

ard).

Sonny, I’m certainly not speaking for

Jay, but! find your question an interesting

one since one of the selling points of Fox-

Pro has been the fact that it is character

based, and will thus be a faster performer.

Right now, I am of the opinion that a

WIN3 version of FoxPro would be a bet-
