Briefly, these files ( vfp*.dll ) deal with automation. Automation is just a way to automatically control one application from within another application.

vfp9t.dll

A lightweight run-time library. It is used for in-process servers commands. In-process is a fancy word for being able to execute in the same address space as the client (parent process) application. Just remember that in-process servers need a parent process. Communication between in-process servers and a parent is fast because passing data within the same process is easier. Normally this guy is used for apartment threading and for machines with multiple processors. Each processor can simultaneously execute code for different objects.

vfp9r.dll

1) In-process Automation server (.dll) files
2) Out-of-process Automation server (.exe) files (distributed)

The executable (EXE) component runs in a separate process from that of the client application. Communication between client and server is slower because there is overhead when you pass data across process boundaries. Think of how Microsoft Office applications call functions from each other.

vfp9renu.dll

This is your English language module. It is used for shipping all English (US) applications.

msvcr71.dll
gdiplus.dll

Msvcr71.dll and gdiplus.dll files are part of separate merge modules, but are included automatically because of their dependency with the Visual FoxPro 9.0 Runtime libraries. Gdiplus.dll is only installed on platforms prior to Windows 2000 (for example, Windows 98).
