Kurt, I haven't had any contact with Andy since the last Prague Devon and then he moved over to Thailand or was it Goa I think. His web address relates to where he used to live in the UK ... I think, but I am sure he will confirm or disprove.
Oh and hi Andy, hope you and your wife are keeping well. I presume you are aware.of Allen's unfortunate passing some years ago. Dave

Hey there Andy - thanks for the feedback.
Honestly - I had not heard of Cursor before. Looking around on the Web - seems Cursor is a kind of IDE for help in coding. But, it didn't seem to actually convert FoxPro code. So, I looked at Cursor website, it had a spot to ask questions. As such, I figured I would ask the most obvious question: Can I use Cursor to help me convert FoxPro code to WPF based C#/,Net code?
Well, turns out, it basically concurred with my prior findings - this was it's answer: While Cursor can assist with code conversion tasks through its AI capabilities and code editing features, there's no specific functionality dedicated to FoxPro to WPF/C# conversion. However, you could potentially use Cursor in the following ways:
- Use the AI-powered conversation interface (CMD+K/Ctrl+K) to help
analyze FoxPro code and suggest C# equivalents 2. Leverage code completion and AI assistance while writing the new WPF/C# code 3. Use the editor for handling complex refactoring tasks during the conversion process Since Cursor is built on VS Code, you can also:
- Install relevant C# and WPF extensions from the VS Code marketplace
- Customize your development environment for .NET development
- Use the built-in terminal for running .NET commands
Keep in mind that while Cursor can assist in the conversion process, you'll still need to understand both FoxPro and WPF/C# to ensure proper translation of business logic and UI components.
But, the real question I had for you was - what is the domain " hawthorncottage.com" all about? I tried to go to that domain but it seems broken. Yeah - just a little curious for a Friday afternoon...

It might have been interesting to ask "What is the best target platform
for AI assisted conversion of older Visual Foxpro code " <G>
I don't follow these things very closely but I did hear that Cursor was
the AI model of choice for code conversion and Mr. Google (AI mode of
course!) said Cursor could handle VFP.
