- I don't have the reference handy, but --

- The best book on the old Foxpro was by Olympia and Cey, published by
- Addison Wesley and with some obviously recognizable title. The contrast
- with most other Fox books was the contrast you'd expect between, say,
- Addison Wesley (sp?) and Sybex: the authors clearly know what they're
- talking about.
-
- But don't buy it; they've got a Foxpro 2 version out now, and presumably
- it's as good as the old one but more relevant. It ought to be easy
- enough to find where good computer books are sold. (Or mail order from
- Computer Literacy?)
