Of course! I walked down the hall to the corporate library and browsed
through the shelf of FoxPro everything: 2.0, 2.5. Mac, Windows, DOS,
3, 4.0!, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and lots of memorabilia...

SKU # 215-100V250

It does require a high-density disk drive and at least 4Mb of free
hard disk space :)

Kevin, under no conditions would I recommend a client try to use
1993-era software in 2011, especially not under Windows. The chances
of a 16-bit FPD accessing a PLB and connecting to ODBC and SQL Server
are marginal at best.

I'd recomment you and they consider: Port the FoxPro DOS app through a
functional conversion into VFP and run it with a VFP 9 runtime. The
screens won't be pretty, but they should work, barring obscure PLBs or
other add-ons.
