If you build your .EXE from a network share, and that particular share is not available at runtime (IE, your .EXE runs on an entirely different network), you'll have to wait for VFP to "timeout" before it'll even load your app and start executing. SYS(2450) will eliminate that check so it doesn't have to wait.
