Windows 10 X to support Win32 apps
by Tracy Pearson 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

This is good news. From what I gathered from the article the 32 bit apps will run in container. Not sure what that means yet. Time will tell. Tracy https://www.windowslatest.com/2019/11/21/windows-10-x-to-support-win32-apps- sandbox-other-features/

RE: So, about this VFPA thing...

Interestingly enough, my AV product (VIPRE Business) takes out the URL for VFPA as a known bad URL... *Brant Layton* *Principal Consultant* *Digital Computing and Consulting, Inc.* 480.964.1316 On 11/25/2019 7:32 AM, profoxtech-request(a)leafe.com wrote: > RE: So, about this VFPA thing... --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

One of the features of VFP Advanced (fix 95 <http://www.baiyujia.com/vfpdocuments/f_vfp9fix95.asp>) is that it doubles the length of commands from 8k to 16k.

Experimenting with long lines, the error I get is either Line is too long. if there is no .fxp and <filename.fxp> is not an object file. if there is one. Either way, there is no .err file generated even if I explicitly compile with the compile command. My client billing app has a source line that is close to 6K long in actual command, but it has line continuations and && comments. I have not experimented, but one of the two prevents the line from being too long as otherwise the source line would be just over 20K long. Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko

Not sure if you want to implement X# or not. If you do, this is code to drag text into a listbox. https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/874005/WPF-Window-Allows-Tabbing-by-Dr… -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

File Sync
by Chris Davis 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

Can anyone recommend a free and simple file syncing program to mirror a folder on a server to a local folder (files and subfolders). I had been using freefilesync / robocopy but struggling with both of these on one particular computer and want to try another such utility to see if it gives me a better idea of what the issue is. Thanks Chris. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

I laugh when I read the footer: "** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice. This statement is added to the messages for those lawyers who are too stupid to see the obvious."
