Just a personal note,
I leave this afternoon for a bit over 5 weeks of vacation.
First stop is Yokkaichi Japan, where my brother currently lives teaching English.
Then it is off to Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, should be an amazing trip with some beautiful scenery. A great chance to recharge a few batteries.
I will be back in Australia on the 25th of May

Creating an FLL
I have been playing around in the last week or so with creating an FLL.
I came across a set of C++ classes called CLucene that do indexing and searching of text.
This is something I have long had an interest in and often mess around with in VFP.
Rather than attempting to port the C++ classes into VFP, I decided to try wrap them in an FLL and call them that way.
Having never programmed in C/C++ before there was a fun learning curve involved in just getting the code to behave let alone using the API of CLucene and Fox to pull data from a table into the CLucene index and then search it.
I have however managed to do just that, and it is very cool. I will look to develop this further overtime, and if it is promising enough use it in some of our production apps.
How great are FLLs!
