SUMMARY
=======

FOXRUN.EXE and MFOXPRUN.EXE do not execute .PRG files. The FoxBASE+ run-time
distribution version executes compiled .FOX programs only.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To create a .FOX file:

1. Create a .PRG (program) file in FoxBASE+.

2. At the MS-DOS prompt, type:

  " FOXPCOMP filename.prg " (without the quotation marks)

This command compiles the .PRG file into an .FOX file for distribution.
