Re: No more Foxpro

Exactly. In c, your main() function gives you to paramters. The first, argc,
is a parameter count. We have that already. The second, argv[] is an array
of string pointers that point to the various paramters. We don't have
anything like that. Coding for a variable number of parameters is not
difficult.

I guess with argv[] you mean feeding an unlimited number of parameters to a
function, right?

Now our beloved fox may be quite the high level but as I've said in other
threads, I'd love to have an argc and argv[]. I also would like it if
pointers could be stored in a database field while the thing that they
point to is alive.

I'm not sure what we would gain from storing pointers in a database. The
object/memory the pointer points to would not persist from one app
instance
to another, and would be useless once the application terminated. What did
you have in mind when you said that?
