	One of the many database application development environments that
branched off the original simple DBase file format. Last seen as "Visual
FoxPro" from M$ (and even M$ is trying to kill it off <G>). I've only
user-level experience with two VFP applications, not with the coding
(Ultimate Family Tree -- killed off when the owning company also
obtained bottom ranked Family Tree Maker and apparently concluded that
making annual cosmetic changes to FTM and charging $30 to upgrade was
better than upgrading top-ranked UFT for 32-bit Windows; the second
application is The Master Genealogist, which had been in competition
with UFT for top slot)

	The Dabo effort, as I recall, started life as an attempt to create a
VFP type development environment in Python (but not tied to a single
database backend).
