Will Microsoft ever remove FoxPro commands such as Reindex and Pack?

IMHO: No !
These two commands are very important xBase commands. I can't imagine a
single reason, why they should be removed.

Why are you asking ?

They haven't removed a single command in the last 10 years. I don't expect
them to start now.

SELECT PRIMARY has been gone for over 10 years?

Troublemaker. <g>

IIRC, SELECT PRIMARY only ever existed in dbaseII and the original Foxbase.
(And, technically, it would still work today if you used "PRIMARY" as an
alias. <g>)

Lessee .... dbaseIII was about '82 or '83, so that makes it actually 20
years. My how time flies.....

FPD 2.0 ('91) does not support SELECT PRIMARY|ALTERNATE - so it is at least
13 years gone.

It's not in Clipper Summer '87 either. That's as far back as I've got Xbase
docs.
