I just came across this posting on CL. Its mainly for VB - and its and older version 6 - but, seems VFP is included. I just kinda got a kick out of it - since its an OLD version of VFP. They claim box is unopened! https://newyork.craigslist.org/que/sop/d/vb-6-enterprise/6530658934.html

With the freely available Visual Studio Community Edition, it'll be hard to sell this one. :)

That's interesting! I didn't even know about this "Visual Studio Community Edition" of VFP. I knew all this other stuff was Free - but, I guess I never thought about there being a free version of VFP. What's more interesting is - since M$ killed VFP YEARS ago - that makes it even more surprising that they still package it within some SW Install pack. Why bother if its Dead? I should go find it and install it on my main desktop PC - since I still don't have VFP on here!
Thanks for that tip Mr. Chang!
Oh - and this is funny. This gal friend of mine was Insisting I must give my newest Dragon a name. This new one - its over 9 feet long. And, guess what she suggested as a name? You got it right - Chang!

VFP was dropped from Visual Studio years ago.
The Community Edition is pretty nice, you can even use it to write commercial software. There is a limit of 5 users and company turnover IIRC.

So wait...is it in Visual Studio Community 2017 or not? I don't want to download it to find out and this page (https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/) didn't make it obvious.
I guess Craigslist doesn't count for "NOT FOR RESALE."

Nice one!
Hell - CL recently just killed off the Entire Personals/dating section. So - now I can't even sell myself on there!
