SUMMARY

Sys0.exe is a sample that contains Sys0.dll, a 16-bit dynamic link library (DLL), that emulates the functionality of the SYS(0) function.

The SYS(0) function returns network machine information when using Visual FoxPro in a network environment. However, under some configurations, this function returns blanks. In FoxPro 2.6, under the same configurations, SYS(0) returns the expected machine name.
