the distribution kit, and it is installed in
"c:\fpw26", then you should download the file
FPW.EXE and place that file into the c:\fpw26
directory then execute it.
2) Execute one of the 'required' files
Change to the directory which contains the copy of FoxPro
that needs to be patched and also contains the patch
file (one of the following: FPW.EXE, FPW_DK.EXE, FPD.EXE,
FPD_DK.EXE).
Execute the patch file by typing its name at the MS-DOS
prompt.
When you execute the file, several files will be created,
including a file called PREADME.TXT. The file PREADME.TXT
contains instructions which will tell you how to apply
the patches.
PLEASE READ THE PREADME.TXT FILE BEFORE PROCEEDING. IT
CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PATCH PROCESS.
