group may volunteer to be a member of the Board. However, we try to limit Board membership to 8-10 people, since a larger number would constitute a SIG. <g> One of the big reasons people volunteer to be on the board is that they feel they can make a difference and contribute the effort into making the group function more smoothly, etc.. (In other words, these people are freely donating their time because they want as opposed to doing it because nobody else will.) The Board then elects officers to oversee the various operations of the group.
LA Fox Website Updated. The LA Fox Website, at
http:ll www.mesllc.com/lafox.html,
has been recently updated. Go check out the “FoxFiles” section, which has files available for downloading. We’ve added all of the patches to FPW and VFP5 that we know about. This addition to the “FoxFiles” isn’t meant to steal any of Microsoft’s thunder, but rather to speed up the process and minimize the online wait. The last person we heard about, trying to download these files, had about a 20 minute wait before the Microsoft site was accessible. There’s also some other neat stuff’ up there, as well, with more additions coming in the near future. So check it out.
