I just installed VFP9 without disturbing VFP6.
My first task is to see if it compiles and runs my older VFP6 programs.
In my development directories I usually stick a one line program named FOX.PRG which contains the line SET DIRECTORY TO <this directory>. I clicked it and it loaded VFP9 but it wouldn't run under VFP9! Nothing would run under VFP6 either.
I found that the installation had changed all the file associations to VFP9. I manually changed them back using the control panel.
Q1. Do I have to change additional associations using the DOS ASSOC command? (I'm running under Win 2000 server and some of the VFP9 associations still are in the ASSOC display.
Q2. Is there any easy way to change the required associations, say with a batch file?
Q3. Is it possible to make 2 versions of Fox co-exist?
Q4. Why wouldn't the one liner SET DIRECTORY TO <this directory> run?
