Programmers Guide to FoxPro 2.6

The new version supports dBASE files-part of MS's strategy of raiding Borland's product-hungry markets; having won developers' loyalties, MS is going after end-users. Nothing has changed to FoxPro itself from version 2.5: it's the leading cross-platform (DOS/Windows/MAC) product, it has a fast query engine and offers developers more than dBASE IV. Microsoft sold more copies in 1993 than in the history of the product! This is an introduction to the FoxPro for Windows programming environment, for intermediate and advanced database developers. It is specifically targeted at the DOS Xbase developer who just made the transtion to the Windows environment. The author walks the reader through an entire, accounts/receivable programme (included on the disk). This book covers complicated subjects, like event handling. Useful advice is provided for developers who need to import and rework their dBASE applications in FoxPro.
