Hi Mark:

I, too, miss the old FoxDoc from DOS. I use it still on my PRG code, but of course its no good for screen forms, class libraries, etc. For class libraries, I have been using a freeware tool call DOCVCX from F1Tech which uses OLE automation with Word to do a great job of summarizing and printing your code in class libs, including all properties, methods, etc. For screen forms, I just ended up making a (really ugly) report form to print out the contents of the screen properties, methods, etc. You can also use the class browser to 'view code' then print it. That works also for screen forms, in case you weren't aware (I just found out about this recently). There a a couple of other tools in the FILES section here you might like. And there have been other threads on this topic in the last few months. So far, I havent't found any single tool that is as easy, fast and comprehensive as the old FoxDoc-DOS had been...

If you find one, let me know.

As far as FoxDoc-DOS on Pentiums, I'm using 333 MHz and 366 MHz machines and have no problems. Its written in Turbo-Pascal, I think (or at least its original version -- SNAP! was)...

HTH
