Program Notes
DLaP
May the Force be with you - or at least with DLaP this month at the Westside Pavilion on Wednesday, September 19th at 7:30 pm. David Lowery, President of Sophco, developers of “Force, the ultimate Dbase compiler” will be speaking to us about their product. Force was two years in development and claims to have speed and language superiority over Clipper. It is the first Dbase compiler to produce native code, thus creating smaller executable ifies.
VCUG
The Valley Clipper Users Group will also be hearing David Lowery speak on Force this month. As always, the meetings start at 7:00 pm on the third Thursday - September 20 this month. There is a map showing the location on Page 9.
LA. Fox
Several group members will kick off the meeting on Tuesday, September 18th with short presentations, then act as a panel to take questions from the group. Of course, anyone in attendance will be free to field, as well as ask, questions, about any aspect of working with Foxbase, FoxPro, Foxgraph, or any other issues of interest to the membership. Plan to participate!
SAA Expo
This month DLaP will hold a bonus meeting during the SAA (Systems Application Architecture) Expo. Each of you should be receiving a pass and information about the SAA meeting directly from Digital Consulting, Inc, but we will tell you a bit more about the meeting in case you overlooked their brochure.
The SAA Expo is being held at the Los Angeles Airport Hilton, from 12:30 to 6:30 on September 25th and 26th. The SAA Expo meeting for DLaP will focus on the SAA component of a Common User Interface (CU!). It will be held from 2 to 3 pm on Wednesday, September 26th. John Kinney will discuss using STAGE as a tool to develop these types of user interfaces. This should be a very interesting and exciting meeting.
