New user to VFP. In old versions of Foxpro it was possible to distribute runtime applications containing .prg files. To update the distributed systems, new or changed .prg's could be transmitted via communications and changes were in effect immediately with restart. Is this possible with VFP or is it necessary to send new EXE?

I believe this is possible to do, however you would need to send the compiled .FXP file, NOT the .PRG file, since the runtime VFP engine does not compile. You can still leave the command as
if you like, the engine really runs the .FXP file, anyway.
Code:
DO MyProg.PRG- Status
