>>What is DBCS???
>>VFP 5.0 will run on both Win95 & NT 4.0. Given a choice with your configuration, I'd go with NT.

> Thanks for your reply. DBCS = Double Byte Character Set. It is for handling some Asia language such as Chinese, Japanese.... VFP3.0 didn't support it. Then VFP3.0a is for DBCS and 3.0b is an international version. For VFP5.0, MS doesn't mention it.

My understanding is that VFP 5.0 supports double-byte characters, You just need the correct resource file. There is some information on this at www.microsoft.com/vfoxpro.
