Foxpro 2/2.5/2.6 (Dos) - Y2K compatible?
I've had a consultant who is a Fox specialist pour through a FP 2.6 DOS app
that I was recently given responsibility for. The only mods he found to
make were to SET CENTURY ON and to widen the screen and report fields to
accomodate dates that occupy an additional 2 character spaces. Until
recently, MS _did_ have a FP 2.6 compliance statement that said just about
the same thing. AFAIK the only possible exceptions cited were for foreign
language date representations.
