- It is the FoxPro Distribution Kit, and includes the run-time compiler
- (linker, really). The Lan version will cost more than $150, but less than
- $600. We use the Lan version, and it works fine. Quite quick, relatively
- bugfree, reliable, and it handles multi-user conflicts well. The automatic
- conflict resolution can either keep trying or return an error for you to
- handle. In either case, it displays a message box telling you about it,
- and letting you decide whether to keep trying.
