OK, I see this, if _every_ data consumer uses FoxAPI. However, I was under
the impression that only "external" tasks (PI being an example) and the
historian used the FoxAPI. Am I mistaken? Do graphics pages for example,
and CP to CP connections use the FoxAPI? Or if they don't, might that be a
long term design goal?
