>>>Hi Marie

>>>Cool! Do you know if they are legally published books? I have plenty of English FoxBASE and early FoxPro books if you want/need 'em.

Adoptive parents have to spend about 2 weeks in China processing paperwork, etc. so we took the opportunity to walk about as much as possible. One day, while walking down the street in Nanning, Guangxi province, we came across a bookstore. We strolled in, thinking we might find some good children's books. And lo! there before me were 5 FoxBase + books in Chinese! I bought one as a memento!

OTOH I bet, if there weren't many illegal copies of Win3.0, legal copies of any MS product would be less than 10% of current :) It's a kind of advertisement :)
John,
You mean MS is doing frequent fix-ups :)
