 * Microsoft FoxPro Library Construction Kit for MS-DOS and Windows, versions 2.5x, 2.6, 2.6a

SUMMARY
The FoxPro Library Construction Kit (LCK) provides an application programming interface (API) to extend the FoxPro Xbase language. Using libraries of C or assembly language functions, a programmer or end user can create code to provide additional flexibility and functionality to FoxPro.

Note that beginning with version 2.5, the LCK no longer includes a C compiler.

MORE INFORMATION
Many developers already own one or more C compilers. By unbundling the LCK from a specific compiler, the cost of the product is lowered and the developer is provided with flexibility in choosing a specific compiler.

The LCK supports the following compilers:

- Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0 or later - Microsoft Visual C++ version 1.0 or later - WATCOM C 16-bit compiler, version 8.5 or later The WATCOM C compiler is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
