16 bit or 32 bit?
- Thread starter iolair
- Start date
32 bit complilers were not available until 1994. The first 32bit programs were released in 1996.
FoxPro 2.6 was released right around the same time frame.
I Doubt is any FoxPro was done in 32 bit.
If we can track it by Window releases
DOS=8 bit
Windows version 2.0 = 8bit
Windows Version 3.1 = 16 bit
Windows 95 & 98 = 16bit
Windows NT / 2000 = 32 bit
Windows XP = 32bit
Windows Vista = 64bit
Since FoxPro was release to run in Windows 3.1 My guess again would be 16bit.
Again this is a PURE GUESS on my part.

The main improvement from FP 2.6 for DOS to 2.6 for Windows is that awareness of Windows, such as printers and the graphical screen interface, a bit of a hybrid, was added.
Going to 32-bit added long file name support as I recall, and I don't think either of them allowed long file names. They both required 8.3 naming structures.
