Hi David,

I remember an old discussion about when exactly you
were at the end of a cursor: on the last record, or
after you call revdb_movenext on the last record?
FoxPro seemed to think that the EOF() was _after_ the
last record, not on it.

In this case, I'd contact the Altuit people to verify
this behavior and whether or not it is consistent with
revdb standards.
