SYMPTOMS
========

When you are using the MODIFY MEMO command, FoxPro ignores the code pages
of the underlying database, causing character strings to appear in country-
specific characters and accented characters to not be displayed properly.

RESOLUTION
==========

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro 2.5a for MS-DOS and
FoxPro 2.5a for Windows. This problem was corrected in FoxPro 2.5b for
MS-DOS and FoxPro 2.5b for Windows.
