Hi Kevin,

One thing to watch out for is the way traditional DOS commands work in Fox2.6 in a DOS Window. If your application shells out to DOS you'll need to create some DOS batch files to set your pathing properly for those sessions.

If the output is to a laser, then you have no real problems, but if it is to a dot matrix, then come back to me and I will fill you in on what we had to do to preserve formatting and speed.
