Library Construction Kit Setup and Installation

• Microsoft FoxPro Library Construction Kit for MS-DOS, version 2.0

SUMMARY

The Library Construction Kit (LCK) is a tool used to extend FoxPro version 2.0 functionality with C or assembly language. The Library Construction Kit allows you to access C or assembler code from within FoxPro.

MORE INFORMATION

The LCK is installed on the your hard disk in addition to FoxPro version 2.0. Below is a list of setup and installation requirements:

• FoxPro version 2.0 is the only version of FoxPro compatible with the LCK. It must be installed on the system prior to using library functions created by the LCK.
• Approximately 1.5 MB of free hard disk space must be available to install the LCK.
• The LCK requires a 286 or higher processor.
• There must be at least 384K of free conventional memory to install the LCK.
• The LCK is compatible only with Watcom C.
• The following SET statements must be part of the environment in order to run the LCK:

        SET LIB=C:\FOXLCK\LIB286\DOS;C:\FOXLCK\LIB286
        SET INCLUDE=C:\FOXLCK\H
        PATH C:\FOXLCK\BIN;\C:\FOXLCK\BINB
  

  The PATH command should be appended to the existing PATH command. The above example also assumes that the LCK is installed in the FOXLCK directory. If this is not the case, the above statements should reflect this difference.

• If DOSMEM=ON appears in the CONFIG.FP file, it must be removed because libraries created with the LCK need conventional memory to be loaded when they are used in FoxPro.
