Microsoft FoxDoc is a code-documentation utility distributed with
Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS. The most recent version of FoxDoc,
version 2.1e, which is included on the enclosed FP0660 disk, corrects
the following two problems in earlier versions of FoxDoc:

 - If you attempt to run FoxDoc from a network directory other than
   the directory in which FoxDoc is installed, a "FOXDOC.MSG file
   cannot be found" error occurs.

 - If the path to a file is specified using a macro substitution,
   FoxDoc appends a period to the generated filename and displays a
   "Program file not found" error message.

To update your copy of FoxDoc
-----------------------------

1. Copy the Foxdoc2.exe file from the enclosed FP0660 disk to the
   directory where FoxPro is installed.

2. From the MS-DOS prompt, run the Foxdoc2.exe file with the -D and -O
   parameters, as follows:

      foxdoc2 -d -o

When the Foxdoc2.exe file runs, it expands into the following seven
files that overwrite any previous copies of the files in the
appropriate directories:
