SYMPTOMS
TRANSPORT.PRG no longer exists in FoxPro's home directory and the _TRANSPORT system memory variable now contains an empty string.



RESOLUTION
The transporter (TRANSPORT.PRG) is now included in the CONVERT.APP application and a new system variable (_CONVERTER) has been added to Visual FoxPro to point to CONVERT.APP.

In other words, the transporter code is now built into the converter. When a transported object's version is prior to version 3.0, CONVERT.APP calls the TRANSPORT module in CONVERT.APP. This module converts the object first to a FoxPro version 2.6 for Windows object, and then converts it to a Visual FoxPro version 3.0 object.

CONVERT.APP is located in the Visual FoxPro home directory. The CONVERT.APP source code and TRANSPORT.PRG can be found in the \TOOLS\CONVERT subdirectory of the home directory of the Professional version of Visual FoxPro.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
