The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, 2.6
SUMMARY
The FoxPro loader program, FOX.EXE, analyzes system information about the
processor, memory configuration, and available FoxPro executables to
determine which FoxPro executable file to load. To view this information,
type "fox -v" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS prompt.
MORE INFORMATION
The FOX -V command generates the following lines of information:
- Processor (80x86): This line indicates the type of processor. The
value displayed is a single digit indicating the value of the "x"
in "80x86." For example, a "4" indicates an 80486 processor.

MS-DOS extenders to coexist on 80386 or higher processors. The
value displayed is "Yes" or "No."
- PM: This line indicates that the system has LIM 4.0 compliant
expanded memory that supports protected mode applications, such as
FOXPROX.EXE. The value displayed is "Yes" or "No."
- XMS (in K): This line indicates the amount of Extended Memory
Specification (XMS) memory. The value is displayed in kilobytes.
- Ext (in K): This line indicates the amount of extended memory not
under the control of either the EMS or XMS. The value is displayed
in kilobytes.

search path. The first occurrence of each type of executable is
listed.
