   The main kick is that there is not a way to "rewrite" a foxpro app without tons of stuff along the way!

   (Example: You can ship an app that internally run `CREATE REPORT` and the report builder show up. You can invoke the debugger (that as I remember is the best I used a zero alternatives as good existed)) and so on

      The runtime didn’t contain the debugger or other dev tools, only the dev version/IDE did. It did contain the report writer, though.

         mmm.. I remember was a issue to let `SET STEP ON` on the codebase and I assume it opens the debugger...

            I will concede the point, it was a long time ago. :-)

            EDIT: I looked it up. Causes an error in VFP 6.0 and earlier, but not in VFP >=7.0.
