FOXBOT CODE LIBRARY - Michael Oke

[From the ProFox forum, by permission]

I have set up a web page for sharing snippets, code and whatever.

To see the listing of available files:

<http://www.okeindustries.com/FoxPro/>

For the moment, this will be a fairly simple listing of submissions and links to the same.

To make a submission send an e-mail to:

<foxpro@okeindustries.com>

Attach your code as an attachment (zip preferred) and include a file named:

DESCRIPT.TXT (case does not matter). this file will be striped out of the zip and used in the file listing for people to find what they are looking for. Please place the version (of FoxPro) that your submission applies to in the subject of the mail.

When you make a submission you will receive a reply from the FoxBot telling you that your email has been received and will be posted to the web site. Once the file is available to all, an email will be generated by the system to the list telling them of the new addition and where it can be found.

I hope that this small contribution will help all of us who develop on this platform to exchange the bits of code that has made our lives easier. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have an idea to make this work better/faster/easier.
