Article ID: Q120387

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.6a

SYMPTOMS

When you are running the 68K version of FoxPro on a Power Macintosh, the SYS(17) function reports that the processor is a 68020.

CAUSE

The 68K version of FoxPro is actually running in an emulation of the 68K processor on the Power Macintosh. This causes the SYS(17) function to return the emulated processor, which is a 68020.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
