In order to print from foxbase (under DOS) LEXMARK printer
instructions call FIRST TO REBOOT TO MSDOS.
The operating system does not allow me to do this.
?????
Thank you...Millard
 
That's correct, there is no MS-DOS in Windows XP. The only thing I can
suggest is to create a dos boot disk, boot the system, run the app from
there and try to print from there. NOTE: if the application is installed on
an NTFS partition, the boot disk won't be able to see the files in order for
you to open the application, in which case, this won't work unless FoxBASE
is small enough to fit on the boot disk and run from there.
