  • A new set of COM+ Service samples show how you can use Visual FoxPro servers with COM+ Services such as Transactions, Queued Components, COM+ Events and Compensating Resource Managers. Many of these samples use new Visual FoxPro server enhancements.
  • GENMENU has been updated to support new image support for menus. A new directive (#IMAGEPATHS) has been added to control if full paths are generated for menu images.
