- I don't know where you got this info. from. When I
- asked MS reps. in a MS Access seminar at Indy about its
- run-time distribution, they said MS will have Developer's
- Distribution Kit for FoxPro in Feb. (BTW, they were
- demonstrating FoxPro at the same time), those two guys
- didn't know whether MS has plans for an Access distribution
- kit.
