Hi,

I have a FoxPro 2.6 app. "sitting" on a Novell 3.1 server. A new workstation running WinXP Pro just arrived and problems occure when I try to call the FoxPro 2.5 app. from this new baby. Here are the problems:

1 ) Connot control Screen Size of the "DOS Window". I click on a link to a batch file on the server to start the Fox2.6 app. and here is the content of the batch file f:\foxpro25\forprox -t f:\main.prg. There is no problem to start the app. and it is running in a "dos window", but I have no way to control the windows size just like Win 98. It run as half screen even in a full screen mode. So, how could I control the Window Size of DOS app.?

2 ) The app. displays some Chinese Charaters. In Chinese Win98, there is a button on the "DOS Window" to switch between English display or Chinese display (English Code/Big5 Code), but there is no such button on WinXP "DOS Window". I tried to set the language code to Big5 in the Link property, but it will switch to English Code automatically when the Dos Windows start. How could I control the language display of dos window?

3 ) This poor old app. also directs its output to a Novell print queue in this way, CAPTURE NT NB NFF TI5 SERVER=xx Q=PRINTQ_7
This Novell command works fine on Windows 98 but not WinXP. What is the problem with this command?

I am now also rewriting the whole system in VFP7 for the company, but during this time, I have to keep the old Fox running on Novell and its print server. Win98 does this well but not XP. My current option is downgrade to Win98 for a XP licence, cos there are not that many brand name Win98 OEM machine out there now.

Thanks for any suggestions.
