FoxPro 2.0 to FoxPro 2.6

[michel392]

I still work with both FoxPro 2.0 (DOS) and Visual FoxPro 6.0. Is it interesting to use my old FoxPro 2.0 programs in FoxPro 2.6 ? (This is because I want to maintains some applications running in MS-DOS). Or is 2.0 and 2.6 versions almost the same ? Which are the major benefits if I use the 2.6 instead of the older 2.0 ?

Michel,
FoxPro DOS (FPD) 2.6a was the most stable and full featured of all the FoxPro DOS environments. It also was better optimized than earlier versions. (You may need to switch some .IDX indexes to .CDX files to see some of that!)

FPD 2.6a also took more memory to run, but still a lot less than VFP! Your memory management options are also better than in 2.0 - especially if you are running under Win 9x.
