This thread reminds me...wasn't there a way to specify your custom file extension rather than the native VFP ones? Wondered if anyone ever did that (to get away from the "ew it's FoxPro!" stigma)???

Last week I wrote about this old VFP5 app that I inherited which had some files with the phd extension. I never had heard or encountered that kind of files but Dave Crozier helped me with them. However, digging more deeply into this old app (which BTW I need to upgrade to VFP9 and add some perks to it), I found that some of the DBF's are wrapped into a file with the CXI extension. Fortunately the old source code has the original program that wraps the dbfs into a CXI file. I thought all I had to do was recomplile in VFP9, but to my surprise, the dll available only works with VFP5
So my questions are:
- how can I get the dll that works with VFP9 (I am not sure that there is
an update for VFP9) 2) if there is not an update, then how can I get a VFP5 so I can compile my new code and make the CXI routines work.
I'll appreciate some help on this
