-> I have used Fox2LIB.EXE in FoxPro 2.0. The Fox2LIB.EXE commands
-> I used worked great using the FoxPro 2.0 project manager. The
-> application I created (i.e. with the .APP file extension) using
-> the project manager "BUILD" command linked in the sample program,
-> included with the registered version of Fox2LIB, without any problem.
-> The sample program, PCENV.PRG, uses some of the Fox2LIB EQUIPMENT,
-> MOUSE, COMMUNICATION, and MISCELLANEOUS commands.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
