>>I checked my archives: 2.6a is the latest DOS version. I've read here several times that when you own the actual product, you could get older versions from MS. But don't ask me how, I have no idea. Conversion from to 2.5 to 2.6 is a snap, so you could rebuild your DOS app to take advantage of the "new" international features of FP DOS 2.6

Réal,

The only case when I saw a COLLATE SEQUENCE NOT FOUND was when the file FOXPRO.INT was missing. It should be in your FP directory.
