Release date: 6 December 2010
After Testing dropped to mixed reception, someone leaked isolated multitrack stems for “ASAP Forever” and “Fukk Sleep” on Archive.org. These aren’t remix kits — they’re raw Pro Tools exports, complete with:
Producers have since used these to create “deconstructed” versions, remixes, and even a vaporwave edit. The upload remains up due to Archive.org’s DMCA-safe harbor stance — it’s a library, not a host. For now.
In 2024, we are seeing a "digital dark age." Links break, YouTube videos get claimed, and SoundCloud pages get wiped. The fact that fans are backing up Rocky’s obscure features, forgotten remixes, and rare instrumentals on Archive.org is a form of cultural preservation.
It ensures that the "Fashion Killa" of the blog era isn't forgotten by the algorithms.
A mysterious upload from a user named “harlem_digital” contains 14 tracks labeled with misspellings and temp titles:
Musicologists and sample-spotters have used these rough mixes to trace his sonic evolution: the shift from straight Diplo-inspired bounce to the gauzy, psychedelic cloud rap that defined him. One demo, “Acid (early draft),” features a completely different second verse than the leaked version — one where he name-drops Myspace instead of Tumblr. Archive.org is the only place to hear it.
Here are a few ways you could frame a post about A$AP Rocky and Archive.org, depending on whether you're highlighting his music, his fashion "archivist" reputation, or specific rare media found on the site. Option 1: The Music Enthusiast (Focus on Mixtapes) Headline: The Blueprint is on the Archive 💿
Before the Grammys and the global fashion icons, there was Live. Love. A$AP. Since most early mixtapes face licensing limbo on major streaming apps, Archive.org is the true vault for Rocky’s roots.
What’s inside: Original high-bitrate uploads of the 2011 tapes, rare remixes, and the raw sound that defined the Cloud Rap era.
Why it matters: It’s the only place to hear the tracks exactly as they dropped—no cleared-sample edits, just the pure vibe.
Check out the A$AP Rocky collection on Archive.org to take it back to where it started. 🕊️
Option 2: The Fashion & Aesthetic Angle (Focus on "Archiving") Headline: Fashion’s Favorite Archivist 🧥
A$AP Rocky doesn’t just wear clothes; he archives culture. From Raf Simons grails to vintage Rick Owens, Lord Flacko’s style is a living museum.
If you're looking to study the visual evolution of the AWGE creative agency or find scanned copies of the defunct high-fashion mags that inspired his look, Archive.org is your best friend. Dig through the digital stacks to find: Old lookbooks from the early 2010s. Deleted street-style photography.
The obscure references behind the "Fashion Killa" lifestyle. Go down the rabbit hole. Knowledge is power. 📚✨ Option 3: Short & Punchy (Best for Twitter/X or Threads) Headline: Stop searching, start archiving. 💾 asap rocky archive.org

Before Long.Live.ASAP (2013) proper, before the Yams Day tributes, there was the raw data. Archive.org hosts multiple user-uploaded snapshots of Rocky’s seminal 2011 mixtape Live. Love. ASAP — but not the cleaned-up, sample-cleared version. These are the original, gritty, late-night-download rips from the DatPiff era, complete with:

The digital signature can be used to validate the document content and the identity of the signer. (You can find more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature). XFRX implements the "MDP (modification detection and prevention) signature" based on the PDF specification version 1.7, published in November 2006.
The signing algorithm in XFRX computes the encrypted document digest and places it, together with the user certificate, into the PDF document. When the PDF document is opened, the Adobe Acrobat (Reader) validates the digest to make sure the document has not been changed since it was signed. It also checks to see if the certificate is a trusted one and complains if it is not. The signature dictionary inside PDF can also contain additional information and user rights - see below.
At this moment XFRX supports invisible signatures only (Acrobat will show the signature information, but there is no visual element on the document itself linking to the digital signature). We will support visible signatures in future versions.
In the current version, XFRX is using the CMS/PKCS #7 detached messages signature algorithm in the .net framework to calculate the digest - which means the .NET framework 2.0 or newer is required. The actual process is run via an external exe - "xfrx.sign.net.exe", that is executed during the report conversion process. In future, we can alternatively use the OpenSSL library instead.
(Note: the syntax is the same for VFP 9.0 and pre-VFP 9.0 calling methods)
To generate a signed PDF document, call the DigitalSignature method before calling SetParams. The DigitalSignature method has 7 parameter:
The demo application that is bundled with the package (demo.scx/demo9.scx) contains a testing self-signed certificate file (TestEqeus.pfx) and a sample that creates a signed PDF using the pfx. Please note Acrobat will confirm the file has not changed since it was signed, but it will complaing the certificate is not trusted - you would either need to add the certificate as a trusted one or you would need to use a real certificate from a certification authority (such as VeriSign).
Your feedback is very important for us. Please let us if you find this feature useful and what features you're missing.

This version supports both VFP 9.0 SP2 and VFP 9.0 pre-SP2 environments. In SP2 it supports the new dynamics and rotation features.
With XFRX we are experiencing a similar problem - while the pre-VFP 9.0 report engine inside XFRX is using GDI for wordwrapping and layout calculation, the VFP 9.0 report that is used in XFRX for VFP 9.0 is using GDI+. Moreover, XFRX is using GDI+ for printing, output to pictures and previewing. The main difference between using GDI and GDI+ is text width. Each text element is slightly wider with GDI+, which can result in element content being cut, earlier wrapping longer stretched fields. Here is a summary:
| XFRX ver. 12.3 and earlier | ||
| VFP 9.0 | VFP 8.0 and earlier | |
| Output to PDF and other output formats | GDI | GDI |
| Report engine | GDI+ | GDI |
| Report previewer | GDI+ | GDI+ |
| Printing out of XFRX | GDI+ | GDI+ |
Although converting everything to GDI+ would ease the complexity, it would bring another problem - "old" reports might need to be modified. So, instead, the latest XFRX version now contains both GDI and GDI+ wordwrapping algorithms and you can choose which one is going to be used. By default GDI+ is used in VFP 9.0 in the listener mode and GDI is used in VFP 8.0 earlier. There is probably no reason to switch to GDI in VFP 9.0 but it might sometimes be useful to switch to GDI+ as printing and previewing is still in GDI+:
| XFRX ver. 12.4 with wordwrapping set to GDI+ | ||
| VFP 9.0 | VFP 8.0 and earlier | |
| Output to PDF and other output formats | GDI+ | GDI+ |
| Report engine | GDI+ | GDI+ |
| Report previewer | GDI+ | GDI+ |
| Printing out of XFRX | GDI+ | GDI+ |
| XFRX ver. 12.4 with wordwrapping set to GDI | ||
| VFP 9.0 | VFP 8.0 and earlier | |
| Output to PDF and other output formats | GDI | GDI |
| Report engine | GDI+ | GDI |
| Report previewer | GDI+ | GDI+ |
| Printing out of XFRX | GDI+ | GDI+ |
To set the wordwrapping algorithm manually then, before running your reports, create a public or private variable _xfrx_WordWrapAlgorithm and set it to 1 for GDI mode and 2 for GDI+ mode.
An email icon has been added to the XFRX previewer toolbar. It is disabled by default for backward compatibility and can be enabled by setting the iEmail property of the previewer class [xfCont, cntXFRXMultiPage or frmMPPreviewer] to 1. If you click the email icon, it runs the Email method of the xfCont class. By default it displays a simple dialog box asking for email address, subject, body, etc. and uses VFPWinsock library to send the email.

layout options).
To generate the OpenOffice document, use the following codes as the 7th parameter (targetType) of the SetParams method:
|
Document type |
targetType |
|
OpenOffice Writer document with absolute layout |

XFRX now
recognizes two types of hyperlinks:
This custom
event hyperlink feature can be used to invoke application specific actions
(information forms, custom processes, etc.) or for implementing drill-down functionality invoking detailed
report where the field user clicked on is taken as a parameter for the
report (for example, clicking a customer name in the report listing all
customers can run a report with detail information about this specific
customer). The new report can be directed to a new page of a multipage
previewer, which could provide a comfortable environment for drilling down
specific information with the ability to go back to the original report
without closing the current one, side by side report comparison, exporting /
printing selected reports, etc.
Please find more information about this feature as well
as a step-by-step example in the Developer's guide, "Implementing custom event hyperlinks (drilldown) in
XFRX previewer" chapter.
Evaluation package note: The Prevdemo directory with the XFRX previewer implementation sample has been removed as the same functionality is now supported by the "native" class frmMPPreviewer of XFRXLib.vcx.
Release date: 6 December 2005
OpenOffice Writer document format is now
supported.
OpenOffice is using the OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications,
which is also supported by a variety of other office applications including
StarOffice, KOffice, and IBM Workplace. XFRX generates the file format
natively, so OpenOffice doesnt have to be installed on the computer where the
document is generated.
You can find more information about the OASIS Open Document Format at
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office.
More information about OpenOffice can be found at

Release date: 7 September 2005
Turkish (1254) and Greek (1253) code pages are now supported in the PDF output
A printer properties dialog for a given printer can now be invoked from XFRX, returning the printer properties structure as a string. This string can be saved as a user preference and sent to XFRX when printing. This functionality is similar to SYS(1037) introduced in VFP 9.0, with two differences/improvements:
The page setup and printer selection dialogs are skipped, which saves two clicks for the users and preempts confusions in case the printer has already been selected. (Very often, there is a printer selection box in the "main" form and a button to invoke printer properties).
A custom printer properties structure can be used when XFRX transforms the output to a printer
