Dennis Allen has created freeware in the field of FoxPro development. Freeware written in
FoxPro is not only compatible with most variations of FoxPro 2.6, but has been upgraded to run on Visual
FoxPro 6.0.
FoxPro freeware products include dMAIL4, Data Wire Four, Hard Wire Four, and Version
Control & Maintenance. Other FoxPro freeware products include a FoxPro front-end shell, an Astronomy
database linked to the Internet, and a sub-contractor payables application.
There is also dVersion, a QuickBasic program used for FoxPro source code
control.
I have converted a couple of Foxbase+ applications, called "Client Fund
Manager" and "I-Team Manager" into FoxPro. They were written to
handle payables for non-profit
organizations. For the present, they will be listed under freeware. Also note that the
FoxPro versions of I-Team and VCM are only beta copies. As far as I know, they are not
running on any active client site.

Note as of 03/03/2005: To comply with personal web site security, I've
converted all exe files back to zip files. Rest assured I will find a web host
that can handle exe files. Until then, you can
find unzip utilities at www.pkware.com.

FoxPro Runtimes
Dennis Allen's FoxPro freeware requires either FoxPro 2.6 or Visual FoxPro 6.0. If you
don't have either, you must first download and install a FoxPro runtime unit. The
following runtimes are available for Dennis Allen freeware. Before downloading a runtime,
please read it's installation notes as well as the standard End-User License
Agreement for Microsoft products.
FYI: These "runtimes" are actually stand alone applications. Created from FOXRW.PRG, these application's only
purpose is to launch other FoxPro applications. In this case, Dennis Allen freeware. For
information on how to create your own runtime, see the FoxPro Information Sheet.

Version Control &
Maintenance (Manage one master set between programmers)
Client Fund Manager v03.05.03
CFM is a stand-alone accounting system designed for management of the funds of
multiple clients from a single checking account. Clients are patients within the
mental health system who are incapable of managing their own finances. The
purpose of this system is to receive and hold in trust income that would
normally go directly to the client. All monies received are placed into a common
checking account. CFM then provides for audited disbursements to clients and
client creditors according to a flexible system of check generation and voucher
(petty cash) disbursements.
Note: This is a FoxPro application and requires FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 or a
FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 runtime
unit.
Data Wire Four v01.08.02a
The Data-Wire Four is a FoxPro procedure designed to allow an application to verify
databases quickly and easily. In essence, the programmer executes DW4, generating a data
dictionary program. When executed, this program verifies that all specified databases
exist and have the correct field layouts. Structural indices are verified. Both FoxPro
2.6
and Visual FoxPro DBF formats are maintained.
Data Wire Four will now repair invalid/missing memo files. To repair a corrupted memo
file, DW4 will first repair the memo file header. A new DBF file is then created and
original data appended. While this process cannot guarantee full memo data recovery, at
least the DBF file should be good.
Note: This is a FoxPro application and requires FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 or a
FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 runtime
unit.
dMail4 v04.09.04
The dMAIL4 System is a set of programs designed to record and track a simple mailing list
database. Among the dMAIL4 System features is the ability to run in a Multi-user
environment. It can access customer records by a variety of indices. It can also
import/export to a variety of file formats.
Note: This is a FoxPro application and requires FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 or a
FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 runtime
unit.
dVersion v02.00.01
dVersion is a program that will conditionally translate xBASE code. It allows the
programmer to have many versions of an application in one set of source code. In addition,
dVersion offers an INCLUDE facility that can insert code from specified files.
Hard Wire Four v03.04.00
Hard-Wire Four is a utility designed to allow the programmer to maintain a SCR.DBF driven
FoxPro application (such as dMAIL4). HW4 is written in a dBase IV compatible language
called FoxPro. In essence, the programmer executes HW4, generating program code from the
data dictionary. This data dictionary, called SCR.DBF, defines the parameters necessary to
maintain the database files within the given application. How to arrange screen and browse
layouts, for example.
Note: This is a FoxPro application and requires FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 or a
FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 runtime
unit.
I-Team Manager (Beta v02.05.06)
The purpose of the I-Team manager is to provide a specialized scheduling system for
managing client treatment planning. The treatment planning process requires that all
entities in the system with any responsibility for a client agree on a unified treatment
plan within a certain time frame. That this plan be reviewed periodically and that a new
plan be put together at each calendar year anniversary of a client's entry into the
system, until such time as he/she may leave the system. I-Team's purpose is basically that
of a sophisticated tickler -- of events that must take place in the treatment planning
process, and within any review periods.
Note: This is a FoxPro application and requires FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 or a
FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 runtime
unit.
JOB v02.04.09
The JOB System is a set of programs designed to record and track sub-contractor billing.
Among the JOB System features is the ability to run in a multi-user environment. It can
access an invoice by either invoice # or client code. JOB can also record a single check
payment of multiple invoices.
Version 02.04.07 now gives you the ability to define invoices as FoxPro report forms.
Note: This is a FoxPro application and requires FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 or a
FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 runtime
unit.
SAC v04.00.00 (beta)
The FoxPro SAC System is a set of programs designed to record and track the Saguaro Astronomy Club Database. This
application includes the SAC deep-sky v7.2 and double star v2.1 databases, some SAC variable
stars, a set of star charts generated by The_Sky for windows (Software Bisque) and a Moon database created from
U.S. Geological Survey listings. There is also a celestial database that lets you keep track of comets and asteroids.
Among the SAC System features is the ability to access records by object name, type, constellation, celestial location or by notes. You can keep user logs and attach images. If you're using Visual
FoxPro, you can link an object directly to The_Sky for windows. If you are connected to the Internet, the Visual
FoxPro version will also let you display
Digital Sky Survey images and
Bowker/Hughes Lunar photo atlas images.
Note: This is a FoxPro application and requires FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 or a
FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 runtime
unit.
Shell v02.01.07 (FoxPro 2.6 version)
The Shell System is an application that will allow you to launch FoxPro applications. It
also allows you to install, configure, and password protect FoxPro applications. Shell
itself is written in the dBase IV compatible language called FoxPro. The Shell System can
maintain passwords based on the application or based on the user. Another benefit of the
Shell System is the need to load FoxPro only once, using a single runtime.
Note: This is a FoxPro application and requires FoxPro 2.6 or a FoxPro 2.6 runtime
unit.
Also note this download does not include a Visual FoxPro APP file. Instead I created a
separate Visual FoxPro version of Shell. No choice. Procedures in a APP file override any
external FXP procedures
Shell v02.01.07 (Visual FoxPro 6.0 SP5 version)
The Shell System is an application that will allow you to launch FoxPro applications. It
also allows you to install, configure, and password protect FoxPro applications. Shell
itself is written in the dBase IV compatible language called FoxPro. The Shell System can
maintain passwords based on the application or based on the user. Another benefit of the
Shell System is the need to load FoxPro only once, using a single runtime.
Note: This is a FoxPro application and requires Visual FoxPro 6.0 or a Visual FoxPro
6.0 runtime
unit.
VCM (Beta v04.01.06)
The Version Control & Maintenance System is an application that allows either the
client or the programmer to maintain source code. As a client, this system allows you to
obtain the latest updated source code. As a programmer, this system allows you to maintain
another programmer's database of source code. At the same time, other programmers can keep
up with your modifications. All without the need to 'check-out' program files.
Note: This is a FoxPro application and requires FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 or a
FoxPro 2.6/Visual FoxPro 6.0 runtime
unit.
Also note: Since VCM relies on MS-DOS batch files, VCM is currently a MS-DOS only
product. One day I hope to convert the batch file definitions to Unix scripts.
