It needs the Vfp9SP2 Runtimes from https://github.com/VFPX/VFPRuntimeInstallers or http://www.foxpert.com/download/runtime.html and will give you a command window REPL from which you can issue anything the Runtime supports - which does include compiling prg into fxp and then run those fxp.
So those with none or only older versions of fox/vfp can compile & run
- own scripts after no or minimal editing under the version of vfp X# will implement
- check out benchmarking scripts comparing the implementation in X# on your machine
- follow the discussion and examples between dev team and fox heads by running small examples
- copy the small tidbits found in fox help file and play with those in fox
- Try out the benefit of integrated SQL
- Try out the benefit of the buffering / optimistic locking approach coupled with tableupdate
- write own or run foreign benchmarks and pipe results into text files to compare to VO or X#
- call into GUI Class libraries after set classlib or via NewObject()
- build GUI in prg from scratch / test previously class based and prg-ported GUI
- connect to several backends via Cursoradapter, View or SQL Pass Through
- and much more
2 minimal dummy Prg added and compiled, as well as table to play with. Do not play with FoxUser.
Vfp9Sp2 Help File can be loaded: https://github.com/VFPX/HelpFile
with small code samples and explaining some of the concepts I mentioned in the list better than I could.
hope it interests & helps some here
