Program Notes

DLaP

May the Force be with you - or at least with DLaP

this month at the Westside Pavilion on Wednes-

day, 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 devel-

opment 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 presenta-

tions, 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 Architec-

ture) 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 over-

looked 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.
