FoxPro for DOS books

[jpower5]

To all..

Does anyone know where I can get a FoxPro ver 2.5b for DOS
book ??

I found some ver. 2.5 on eBay but i'm not sure if 2.5 is the same as 2.5b

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you
Jim

Jim,

I don't believe you will find any books that are geared to 2.5b.
Microsoft released a series of "patches" during 1993/1994 that were only used for the purpose of providing minor upgrades and bug fixes. There were no drastic changes to syntax or functionality that I am aware of.

Please let me know if the suggestion(s) I provide are helpful to you.

What do you want to do in DOS, at least now when everything is in Windows?

I might be starting a project where the client has an old foxpro for dos ver 2.5b system that they need enhancements made to...
They say that the executable runs in everything from windows 3.1 thru XP..

The help file includes anything that was in the books of any use anyway. You shouldn't really even need the books.
