Microsoft FoxDoc is a code-documentation utility distributed with Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS. The most recent version of FoxDoc, version 2.1e, which is included on the enclosed FP0660 disk, corrects the following two problems in earlier versions of FoxDoc:

- If you attempt to run FoxDoc from a network directory other than the directory in which FoxDoc is installed, a &quot;FOXDOC.MSG file cannot be found&quot; error occurs.

- If the path to a file is specified using a macro substitution, FoxDoc appends a period to the generated filename and displays a  &quot;Program file not found&quot; error message.

To update your copy of FoxDoc -

1. Copy the Foxdoc2.exe file from the enclosed FP0660 disk to the directory where FoxPro is installed.

2. From the MS-DOS prompt, run the Foxdoc2.exe file with the -D and -O parameters, as follows:

foxdoc2 -d -o
