And here the problems started with our DBMS. Windows XP became the next popular operating system that filled almost all computers. But even here our ginger programs continued to work hard, without causing unnecessary problems to their users and sysadmins. But time does not stand still, DOS was replaced by Win95, followed by Win98. Once upon a time, when the trees were large and the floppy disks were five-inch, FoxPro peacefully existed under MS-DOS and delighted its users. It is difficult to explain why Fox has taken root so well on the hard drives of some computers, as well as it is difficult to understand why most computer people hate this software product.
The familiar text mode window can often be seen in a bank, in a post office, housing and communal services settlement centers, and just in organizations. It so happened that many programs written in Fox are still 'in service'. In this article I want to talk about the FoxPro DBMS, or rather, about its DOS versions. The author wanted to help those who, due to their duty, are forced to accompany DOS software. The purpose of this article is not to promote the relevance of outdated software.
