ID: Q121080

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.5x, 2.6, 2.6a

SUMMARY
FoxPro for MS-DOS does not enable demand paging if there is not enough memory to start the Extended (32-bit) version of FoxPro.

MORE INFORMATION
Page 3-7 of the "Installation & Configuration Guide" states:

If necessary, the Extended version of FoxPro enables demand paging to  allow it to run in as little as 1.5 MB. This sentence is incorrect. Unlike earlier versions of FoxPro, the 2.5x, 2.6, and 2.6a versions of FoxPro for MS-DOS now use the Phar Lap DOS extender, which is DPMI compliant and does not support demand paging.
