Ok, here's a puzzling problem. Client comes to me with an ancient FoxPro Dos
2.6 application. It has some issues we fix, then I try and run it on FPW
2.6.(so it looks prettier) When the program issues a "save screen" command,
it gives a "out of memory" error. If I run the same program under Visual
FoxPro, no problem.

What's happening?

Try editing your CONFIG.FP / CONFIG.FPW and adding

MEMLIMIT = 80%,16384,32768

That'll give it 32Mb to play with.

With VFP3, if you have more than 512MBytes of RAM it throws
"out of memory" errors.
Maybe it is the same for FPW2.6?

Are you getting error 43, "Insufficient memory"? There
are known problems with running FoxWin 2.6 on too-fast PCs
which result in this error appearing sporadically. There
is no fix for the problem within FoxWin 2.6.

I know I have seen some extensive web documentation on the
problem, which I can probably locate again, if that would
be helpful.
