WINDOWS              | MS-DOS                | MACINTOSH kbprg kbprb The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, and 2.6
 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, and 2.6
 * Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.5b

To demonstrate this behavior, create files or directories with the following names:

1TEST, ATEST, _TEST, !TEST FoxPro for MS-DOS and Macintosh will display the list in the following order: !TEST, 1TEST, ATEST, _TEST FoxPro for Windows will display the list in this order: !TEST, 1TEST, _TEST, ATEST

STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
