What is foxr.exe used for?

[Gary Bronson]

Hi Again,

Can someone tell me what the program file foxr.exe is used for. I have a
couple of batch files that reference this file with a -t switch, followed by
a call to another file.

Thanks,

GaryB

Hi Gary,
A quick google on the filename tells me it's a runtime library for FoxPro
(i'm guessing FP2.6)

HTH,

Hi Gary:

The FOXR.EXE loader program can only be obtained through the purchase of
the FoxPro for MS-DOS Distribution Kit. FoxPro 2.5 and 2.6 for MS-DOS used
this file.


I hope this helps.

It is the startup-stub for a Foxpro 2.x file. It will search in the
current directory for a config.fp file.
If a program name is given after the foxr it will try to execute that
program.APP or program.FXP. If no program is given it will start the
program on the the run-line in the config.fp, if no run-line exist it
will show a dalog box enabling you to select the fox-program you want
to start.
the -T supresses the initial blue foxpro-screen
(also needed for this are the .ESO and/or the .ESL files which contain
the runtime 'dll' for foxpro)

That thoroughly answers my question.

Thanks to all.
