>>But do I have to have them load WIN32s on each Thinkpad? I thought that if the VFP distribution included it on the server that the workstations would run. I didn't think that they loaded it on each MS DOS machine. But maybe it was already there.

>VFP is a Win32 application, which means Win32s added to Win 3.x. PC DOS is derived from DRDOS, and may not be compatible with Win32s environments; since Win32s is no longer an actively supported environment for Microsoft, you'll need to go to IBM for support.

Unfortunately, the client doesn't wish to change these machines to Win95. I'll see what IBM says. Thanks.
