tive voice response (IVR) toolkit and it’s done in FoxPro. We’ll probably get a peek at the code behind this technology, so don’t miss this one.
This is indeed a rare opportunity to see these people when they’re not surrounded by hundreds of people clamoring for their expertise. It’s like comparing a sold-out stadium concert with the intimacy of a small night club.
These people will join a list of speakers
who
have presented to
LA
Fox
that reads like a “Who’s Who” in the
Xbase/FoxPm
development community:
Beginning in August, by popular request, we’ll be switching gears and spotlighting applications and techniques by members of our own group:

Anderson/Chuck Williams. Bill and Chuck will discuss their experiences in both building and managing the SITN Registration System.

Release News. Microsoft announced that they are sticking to an August release date for Windows 95 by previewing the product at a New York news conference. FoxTalk, the venerable newsletter published by Pinnacle Publishing, predicts a Visual FoxPro release by no later than June 21.
Windows 95 World Tour, from Ken Levy. You can call the number below to indicate you are attending, but it doesn’t reserve a seat. Advise is to arrive 30 mm. early:
Call 1-800-685-0951 for more details and to indicate your interest in attending. Space for each event is limited. The date is set for June 29, 1995, 7:30 PM, in Pasadena, at the Pasadena Exhibition Building, 300 Green Street, sponsored by Compaq.
By now, everyone has heard about IBM’s hostile takeover bid to buy Lotus. It’s causing a minor stir on Wall Street, so hang onto those old disks and docs I hear the Smithsonian will be mounting an exhibit and Jim Manzi will be writing a book called
‘What
it Takes to Make an Excellent Product, Turn It into An Industry Standard, Run It Into the Ground Because You Don’t Keep Up With Technology, Sue the Shorts Off of Your Competitors, and Then Sell It Off to a Company That has Laid Off Several Thousand People Over the Last Few Years, and Shouldn’t be in Software to Begin With.”
