Foxfire! Report Writer v8+ comprises a family of data mining tools designed for regular business users. Developers can:
* adapt it to almost any FoxPro or ODBC compatible database
* immediately add any features required to create a glove-fit solution to the end user's needs.

Foxfire! is the only set of report writers for the vfp environment that can operate interchangeably on both platforms. Its interactive drag-'n-drop design tools has been praised by usability experts and end users alike for simplicity without sacrificing power.

Micromega Systems offers Foxfire! consulting, integration, and training services. Our growth strategy is partnering, and we are currently seeking other developers who want to partner to create custom or localized versions to address special market opportunities.
