Introduction
------------

The FD0658 disk provided with this Application Note contains the setup
patch file FOX386.ARC, which enables  FoxBASE+/386 to print properly.

Without this patch file, output sent from FoxBASE+/386 to a port does
not print.  Moreover, trying to print to a port from FoxBASE+/386
prevents that port from working properly for any other applications.
As a result, you must reboot the computer before the port can be used
again.

To install the patch
--------------------

NOTE: Make backup copies of your original FoxBASE+/386 disks before
proceeding with these installation instructions.

1. Copy the file FOX386.ARC to the second FoxBASE+/386 installation
   disk (Disk 2), replacing the original file that has the same name.
   For example, do the following:

   a. Copy the FOX386.ARC file from the FD0658 floppy disk in drive A
      to a temporary directory on drive C by typing the following
      commands at the MS-DOS command prompt:

         md c:\foxpatch
         copy a:*.* c:\foxpatch

   b. Remove the FD0658 floppy disk from drive A, then place the
      second FoxBASE+/386 installation floppy disk (Disk 2) in drive
      A.  Type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt:

         copy c:\foxpatch\fox386.arc a:

   c. Remove the patch file and the temporary directory from drive C
      by typing the following commands at the MS-DOS command prompt:

         del c:\foxpatch\fox386.arc
         cd\
         rd c:\foxpatch

2. Install FoxBASE+/386 by following the normal instructions.
