Foxpro/Visual Foxpro.

I don't mind the environment, but it's been discontinued, which I didn't know when I took my current job.

I myself wouldn't mind using FoxPro 2.6 for DOS again. I learnt its "brother" : Clipper, too, but never used it.
@10, 20 say "This tools is the 1st one from which I earned money" :)
Thanks to memorable days when I used it long time ago.
I think I still remember the stuffs like : scatter memvar, gather memvar, define windows, activate windows, .....
and its 4 words for short forms of its commands.
