TO RUN THIS PROGRAM
*
a) start Fox
*
b) you may want to edit the TS line in procedure Norton
to limit your search
*
C) set default to subdirectory in question e.g. (g:\apps\purch)
d) do g:\apps\lib\m2000
e) this will create a four files: C:\apps\y2000prg.txt, y2000sct.txt,
*
y2000frt.txt, y2000pro.txt. Once run you should move your y2000
*
files so the next time you run m2000 you don’t write over them
