QPFS vs. Excel or any old spreadsheet. My Guess only.

Sean has it partly right. Gary indicated some time ago, he was getting suggestions to make Scanning easier for the non-programmer customer base. So making QPFS is the QP answer, if not alot more.

I also agree that being an old fogey/fogie, I'm learning to like the original Scan language. I agree that from what we've seen so far, QPFS will enable more powerful scans by the feable minded - and the rest of us too.

However, I suspect we are seeing only the Front End of QPFS, the pretty interface. For surely (Gary doesn't loan me his playbook), this becomes a vehicle for all sorts of future upgrades.

You'll note that the first release contained a vastly different method of constructing scan equations, few functions and a fairly simple appearance - while the second release is quite a bit more sophisticated visually, functionally and otherwise. Plus almost the whole library of speadsheet functions has now been imported.

I confess to being a bit remiss on this (confident that V2 would do what I'd have suggested), but Gary (unlike the competition) is opening trolling for suggestions from his loyal customer base. We've all previously experienced a user comment quickly appearing in the next QP2 upgrade (unlike other/competing products to which I've contributed suggestions to their trash can).

I've often looked at the Vbasic hooks he's offered all along and said I've got to finally really learn VB - and now he's rolling out QPFS with alot of what I'd though to do implemented as tools I can use.
(It's: Integrated Technical/Fundamental screening in QPFS and more.)
