Users appeal to keep FoxPro alive

摘要

Despite a concerted online effort by devoted Visual FoxPro developers, Microsoft Corp. s.aid this month that it won't change its plan to halt work on the venerable database programming tool. Two Spanish developers have set up a wiki-based Web site called MasFoxPro (More FoxPro) calling for Microsoft to continue developing the database and development tool after this summer's release of Service Pack 2 for Visual FoxPro 9. During its Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Summit in Seattle last month, Microsoft announced it would terminate development of the 23-year-old product, which it acquired a decade and a half ago.
