> I was just doing a little research on the Open Source world's so called "solution stacks" and I would suggest a catchier name for the VFP solution stack rather than "VFPS" proposed by Ken Levy. How about:

> W - windows OS
> A - Active VFP web scripting
> I - IIS web server
> F - Foxpro programming language

> CHECK THIS OUT: I looked up the meaning of WAIF and it fits Visual Foxpro to a tee!!!:
> "The word waif (from the Old French guaif, stray beast)[1] refers to a living creature removed, by hardship, loss or other helpless circumstance, from his or her original surroundings. The most common usage is to designate a homeless, forsaken or orphaned child, or someone whose appearance is evocative of same." In our case foxpro is the WAIF outcast by Microsoft! Appropriate?
