Yeah, i see it only mentions versions of FoxPro back to 3.0 ,
so I couldn't guarantee it would work in earlier versions.
It is, however fairly easy to implement, so it wouldn't
cost a whole lot in terms of time to try it. I have very
little experience with FoxPro prior to version 3.0, but if you
were able to declare and run dll functions in FP < 3.0, you
should be able to run these API routines.
