>Foxbase was "FOX software"'s. They sold FP to MS so I think now MS has the rights. I don't think they support Foxbase now.
>With foxbase there was foxpcompile and foxprun. Foxprun AFAIK is royalty free. Compile the app with foxpcompile to .FOX then use with foxprun (foxprun myapp.fox).
MS does indeed hold the rights.
The runtime was not a part of the FoxBASE/FoxBASE+ development package; as I recall, it was a separate purchase (as was the LCK) and it was sold several ways, either on a per end-user license or an unlimited distribution license.
There were also distinct flavors for single- and multi-user environments (I think the runtimes were foxprun and mfoxprun respectively.) There were major issues with trying to use the single user version in a multiuser envrionments, and some problems with WinNT as well.
