The incompatibility with Xenix libraries holds true.  Also, there have been
several people that had problems with Xenix file and record locking under
AT&T 3.2 Unix.  If you have or purchase AT&T Unix, there is a fix available by
calling 1-800-922-0354.  Other than that, we didn't have any
compatibility problems with Foxbase, but we didn't certify it either.
