Running fp 4.8 for DOS on Windows XP home edition

[Kenneth Brody]

Quoting Bob @ MidCity Office (Fri, 15 Aug 2008 10:24:33 -0400):

> When I ran fp 4.8 on XP I created a menu "ntfix" with one choice: ping
> Then to I started fp from this batch file in my FP directory.
> (my fp and filepro directories were in directory fpMidC)
> This script presents the menu, you press 1, then X, then the
> filepro menu appears.
> I got this from this list a few years back.
>
> echo lx | p ntfix
> set PFDSK=C:
> set PFPROG=C:\fpMidC
> set PFDATA=
> set PFCMARK=20
> set PFDIR=C:\fpMidC
> p.exe
[...]
