For the last few years I have been using PATCH2X.EXE to modify the FOXW2600.ESL file to get Foxpro 2.6 for Windows to work on faster computers.

The error message that it resolved with "Numeric Overflow - Divide by Zero" when the .exe was launched.

I now have a customer working on Windows XT who is getting the same error message but the PATCH2X.EXE does not seem to help.

I have tried recompiling the Foxpro 2.6 for Windows with VFP 3.0 and VFP 6.0 and parts of the .exe work fine but there is a complicated section involving key stroke macros that does not work properly when compiled in VFP 3.0 or VFP 6.0, so I really need to get the .exe to work as is in the Windows XT environment.

Does anyone know where I can find a modified version of PATCH2X.EXE that will deal with the Windows XT environment?
