to stay with in the SanDiego area while DevCon is going on. (A

word of warning, though.... my mother-in-law has an expression

that sums it up - “Fish and company stink after three days.”)

This years DevCon promises, more than any other in the

past, to be a teaching DevCon. Microsoft will be rolling out

FoxPro 3.0. Many of the seminars will be addressing the new

technology in 3.0, so it it will provide the first opportunity for non•

beta testers to “get a leg up” on everyone who doesn’t attend.

3.

Although the featured speakers have yet to be announced,

you can be sure they will be top-notch because of the atmo-

sphere in which this newest offering is being presented. (Don’t

forget... .this release is supposed to be the first completely

Microsoft product.) I have found out, though, that one of the

people that has been invited to speak is John Miller, President

of the Orange County FUG.

4.

As usual, DevCon provides the opportunity for developers

to rub elbows with most of the important/influential people within

the FoxPro community.

Elsewhere....

Chuck Williams, President of LA Fox, is not “missing in action”.

His company is involved in a project with Microsoft’s ITG De-

partment. That’s their internal MIS group. His group was re-

cently relocated from Redmond to Issaquah. That’s Indian for

“Don’t know where else to put them”. He returns to the LA area

every weekend and should be back with us in time for the

October meeting.

Les Pinter, featured speaker at the July meeting of LA Fox,

made good on his promise to provide the group with back

issues of The Pinter FoxPro Letter, as well as delivering the

source code for the last 5-1/2 years of his newsletter. In order

to make obtaining copies of the three disks easier, we’ve de-

cided to make two copies of the disk set and have an Orange

County contact and an LA County contact. Those members

from OC may contact Barry Lee at (714) 968-4225, CID#

72723,3422. We’re looking for a volunteer to take care of the

LA County requests. The disks will also be available at the

meetings for those members wishing to make copies. The

newsletters will be available at the meetings until we run out.

Call for articles. The LA Fox Developer Newsletter is looking

for articles to include in the newsletter. These articles may be

on any Fox-related subject.... programming techinques, third-

party add-ons, book reviews, etc. And guess what? You don’t

have to be a Nobel prize-winning author to submit. You may
