On the subject of history, I still have the printed notes, dated October 10, 1986 titled "Using the Demo Version of FoxBASE+". The Operating Instructions for FoxBASE+ and the FoxBASE+ compiler named FOXPCOMP. I think that was version 1.2 because the hard black cover, loose leaf folder next on the bookcase contains the FoxBASE 2.00 User manual; it's dated November 1987. It doesn't come any earlier :-) The original disks will all be filed among many boxes of old 5-1/4 inch disks. Hopefully they still hold their original content. Those were magic times. Life was an extraordinary introduction to more and more powerful software and performance discoveries on almost a daily basis. Long live David Fulton.
