Right. SET LIBRARY command should be changed to

SET LIBRARY TO FOXTOOLS.FLL ADDITIVE

>Also, I do not think it is wise to put FoxTools.FLL into this directory because there can be several versions of the VFP runtime and there is no official guarantee that the FLL is compatible across versions. Note: in my book, 'seems to work when I try it' and 'is officially supposed to work' are very different things when it comes to putting stuff on client's computers.

What's wrong with putting FoxTools.FLL in the application directory? How would it interfere with other applications?
