Microsoft FoxPro Library Construction Kit version 2.5

On page 243 of the Library Construction Kit "Developer's Guide," the _StrCpy() function contains the following statement:

   typedef unsigned char TEXT;

This statement will result in the following error message when you are using Visual C++ to compile:

   error C2082: redefinition of formal parameter 'TEXT'

This error is caused by the definition of TEXT in the PRO_EXT.H header file supplied with the Library Construction Kit. TEXT is a reserved word and should be avoided, as with any other reserved word.
