Guy, Our fix is being released to manufacturing. If you
can send us a street address and phone number, we can enter you into our order system. When it becomes available in about 2-3 weeks, it will automatically be sent out to you. Thanks, Tony

[Note: The ‘fix’ Tony is referring to is the FoxPro Mac product.]

Hey there folks, I’m pleased to announce the latest
member of our family here:
Ken
Levy is a software engineer who has spent the last 17 months consulting full-time at NASA’s
Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasedena, CA. At JPL, Ken specialized in created application development tools primarily in the FoxPro environment. A significant portion of the work centered around a program called GENSCRNX along with a few add- on drivers. Ken was allowed to place GENSCRNX into the public domain through Cal Tech to allow technology exchange. Since GENSCRNX is public domain, Ken will continue to enhance GENSCRNX as required on a regular basis.
Prior to working at JPL, Ken spent six years working for Modular Communication System, Inc. in North Hollywood, CA where he designed and wrote software for dispatch communication consoles used in the public safety industry. The most significant portion of his 6 year experience included designing and writing software for ROM based custom-networked real-time applications using Intel’s PL/M compiler and assembler for the
16-bit 8096 embedded controller. The embedded
controller driven user interface evolved into a

programmable object-based touch screen / mouse interface using FoxPro 2.0. A typical application consisted of 500-1500 user defined windows monitored for mouse clicks while a real-time INKEYO event loop procecessed RS-232C data via multiple commuication ports. Along with dispatch systems distributed throught the United States, one of the largest series of systems are currently installed in most of the southern half of California controlling all of the Calif. Hightway Patrol’s mobile communications.
Ken has also has created many custom FoxPro applications for accounting, inventory, bar code I/O, etc. Ken’s early programming experience included dBASE Il/FoxBase+ and prior to that included BASIC and Z80 assembly languages mostly on the TRS-80 models.
Before y’all ask, Ken will be starting with us towards the end of this month, and will be staying in Northridge, CA. We’re installing the chains now... yag

Jet Propulsion Laboratory Extending The Screen Builder With GENSCRNX
Led by the author of GENSCRNX for FoxPro, this session will discuss the architecture and features of GENSCRNX which is a pre and post processor extension to FoxPro’s GENSCRN. GENSCRNX is a public domain program that allows extended control over the code generated from FoxPro’s Screen Builder without modifying GENSCRN. The session will discuss how GENSCRNX extends Screen Builder development using its
own
set of built in directives; how to create complete 3D looking screens in FoxPro for Windows with just a few directives; and how to create complete Drag/Drop interfaces with pictures and text using Visual Basic like syntax that is fully cross-platform ready (DOS/Windows/Mac). This session assumes knowledge of FoxPro’s Screen Builder but does not require any knowledge of GENSCRN.
