-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 5.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Unlike Visual FoxPro 3.0 for Windows, Visual FoxPro 5.0 does not run or create
executable files for 16-bit operating systems, such as Windows 3.1 or Windows
for Workgroups. Visual FoxPro 5.0 runs only on the Windows 95 and the Windows NT
32-bit operating systems.

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

Visual FoxPro 5.0 no longer supports the Win32s subsystem. The Win32s files
allow the native Visual FoxPro 32-bit application code to communicate with
16-bit operating systems. By not supporting the Win32s subsystem, Visual FoxPro
5.0 hopes to improve performance, increase stability, and reduce overhead.
