That's fantastic!!!
Great 'code' (neat and tidy as well)!!!
Yeh: 'those were the days'!!! I started with Clipper 'Autumn '86' so that should give you SOME idea (I MISS DOS would you believe)!!! Like I said: it took me an absolute AGE to 'grasp' but I refused to 'give in' or 'give up' until I'd made this 'thing' 'DO SOMETHING' (pretty much the reason I'm still here to 'tell the tale' in THIS business I would imagine)!!! But it's a funny thing you know: once you've got the 'concept' and 'feel' for something then 'the sky is the limit' i.e. after 'those days' moving on to FiveWin, VB, VFP, Pascal etc. etc. etc. was (almost) 'a walk in the park' i.e. they're all pretty much the same if you REALLY look hard and I'm of the opinion that this can be related to the markets as well!!! And sometimes 'new' is NOT always better than 'old' i.e. I still have (had) some clients running an accounting package that was orginally written in Clipper and then converted to FoxPro (all for DOS) and to this day these people refuse 'point blank' to change to anything else!!! And again: this can ALL be related to the markets AND 'systems' I reckon i.e. does the year 1978 'ring a bell'???
Anyway: good on you!!!
Edit:
I just looked at your 'code' again. EXCELLENT!!! Thanks again!!!
