SYMPTOMS

When you are printing blank lines between consecutive lines of text in either FoxPro for Windows or the 16-bit version of FoxPro for MS-DOS, the blank lines no longer print out after FoxPro reaches line 32768.

RESOLUTION

In FoxPro for MS-DOS, this problem occurs only in the 16-bit version, so use the 32-bit Extended version of FoxPro (FOXPROX.EXE), if possible, instead.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in FoxPro version 2.5a for Windows.
