That would be neat.  But how much faster can you get than: 


	objref=createobj(class1) 
or:
	define class class2
	enddefine
and:
	objref.saveasclass(class3)

Or are do you mean Vis dBase 6.0 will have faster subclassing tools?

Yessss.  We've been waiting for this for quite a while in VFP. 
Actually,
I've been waiting so long, I decided to "roll my own" quite a while ago, 
especially for use in .EXEs.
