Some people are desagree with the way (or no-way) to know what or how is the licence of the product to buy, it's typical that you only know what's the licence when you already bought the product, so, it's a little bit more difficult (in Latinamerica is wrost) to return it if you are not agree.
That's why Microsft is offering the EULA as a freely download, so you can read it before buy it (and if you want it, send to your lawyer(s)), now you can download it in the following link:
--- Microsoft Visual FoxPro EULA (Download .ZIP file)---

Since Abril 11 I've adding my bookmarks into del.icio.us community, at this time I have a little bit more than 420 links, those at differents themes, the most importants are about VFP and .NET issues.
The past week I found (via del.icio.us main page) an application which give us an improve del.icio.us interface, it used AJAX technology. The application is called del.icio.us Director, I will describe in one word: AMAZING:
The new interface is just great!, is a kind of DHTML with steroids!, I have to mention that the differents sections are reloaded without reload the whole page, just the needed.

This code was a reply in a thread at the microsoft newsgroup of visual foxpro (spanish edition), it was also published at PortalFox.com, Luis María Guayán incorpore another solutions based at API calls (mine also has), the difference with my implementation was in the fact it was based on the use of OOP paradigm and using the Fox Foundation Classes.
