FoxPro Power Developer's Library 2.6 -- Bigger and Better than Ever!

Mac Rubel's FoxPro Developer's Library is the only extensive cross-platform source code library available for FoxPro. All functions are fully documented and come with individual reference sections giving you calling syntax, optional parameters, return values, and examples of how to use the functions.

The library's design objective can be expressed in a single sentence: “One .PRG file for each program, one .FXP for each function, one calling convention that will work on multiple platforms and analogous results across platforms.”

It supplies over 450 ready-to-use UDFs and program modules that will make you more productive and can save you hundreds, even thousands of lines of code in your applications. Your finished work will look and run better! Best of all, you don't have to worry about writing specific code for different versions. Just call the Library's functions as you need them, and the results will be what you expect, no matter what the platform.

Almost every function has a debugging routine embedded in it so that you can check out your code during development and even log problems in finished applications at client sites without the client being aware of the process.

Some highlights in Mac Rubel's Power Developer's Library:

• A complete set of array handling functions -- You can save and restore arrays to the Power Developer's system file
• A function that stores a complete sub-directory structure to an array starting at any directory (including the root)
• A neat routine that will delete files along a tree that meets a specified skeleton
• Functions that automate key number assignment for new records -- it's as close to foolproof as you can make it, and it only takes one line of code.
• Functions to help you work with data tables -- How would you like to know the number of records in an unopened data table? The Power Developer's Library has a function that works much faster than opening the file and using RECCOUNT() (especially on a network).
• Two functions that really tell you if a directory is on the disk and if the files in a directory are "visible" to FoxPro
• Dialogs and menus that allow you to specify the font name, size and style
• Functions for word wrapping proportionally spaced text
• Functions that making working with FoxPro Windows metrics simple -- these functions are worth more than the price of the library by themselves!
• A help system that handles active system menus
• Seven encryption programs to ensure data security
• An accessible list of windows, both active and inactive, with their dimensions with this Library -- you can even release windows according to a specified skeleton.
• There's even a small blackjack game -- build decks of cards, cut them, shuffle them, deal them, and watch your skills bankrupt the computer!
• Version 2.6 works with not only FoxPro for DOS and FoxPro for Windows, it also works with FoxPro for the Macintosh and UNIX (except printing and DOS functions)
• Best of all, you can freely distribute compiled code that includes Power Developer's Library routines without any additional royalty payments.
