Here are the exact instructions from the text file. All I did was to follow them exactly, and it works just fine. From your description below, it seems you may be missing a step or two - or are you missing some actual files?:
First:
Copy the apideclares table and memofile (apideclares.dbf and apideclares.fpt)
to the HOME() directory of your VFP environment.
Also, copy the FC.dbf and FPT to the home() directory.
Next:
cd home()
Use (_foxcode) in 0 again alias MyFC
Append from FC
USE in select("MyFC")
erase fc.*

I don't recall that it was difficult to set up. Seems I had to insert a couple of records in the Foxcode table, which was in use, so I had to copy the table, alter THAT, and then rename the copy. Then I had to put a table called APIDECLARES.DBF and it's memo file, then a program called DECLAPI.PRG in the HOME() directory. No big deal.
