I'll just expand somewhat on Scott's reply above...
While I won't go so far as to say "Not Possible", it is:
* Not Legal
* Not Ethical
* Not Professional
* Not Very Likely
Go ahead and buy Visual Foxpro.
Not only will you avoid all of the above, but you will be able to develop applications which look and perform like they belong in the 21st century.
And you can use it to "convert" old FP 2.5 applications.
Good Luck,

If for some reason you do not want to convert to VFP, your best option is to watch the eBay auctions for an original copy with complete documentation. FPW typically sells for around $150 for complete unopened installation pak with registration card. FPD seldom appears and I don't remember its typical value. FP Mac typically sells for about $15 (Very good way to get cheap documentation). Have never seen FP Unix on eBay.
Well, I was just answering the question as asked... I don't like telling people "Buy VFP", as I assume they have a reason for looking for the older version to begin with... eBay is a good alternative, and I have sold several FP2.6 versions on there over the years... I even sold a Mac version for $150 on there... but that was about 6 years ago.
Best Regards,
Scott
