[BUG/PRB.] VFP 9.0 FIX - THE COMMAND WINDOW IS SMALL AT STARTUP
January 2026
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
CCB
1. BUG:
In vfp9 (and vfp6, vfp7, vfp8), if there is no the resource file (foxuser.dbf),
the Command window is small (5 rows, 50 cols) at startup, now the Command window is bigger (20 rows, 80 cols).
2. CAUSE:
There are some BUGs in the following code.
3. RESOLUTION:
We can write some code to fix the BUG.
Fun5446c1 :: ; proc near
push ebx ;0x005446c1 : 53
push esi ;0x005446c2 : 56
push edi ;0x005446c3 : 57
mov esi , eax ;0x005446c4 : 8bf0
call Fun42f5d1 ;0x005446c6 : e806afeeff
mov eax , dword ptr [eax] ;0x005446cb : 8b00
movzx edi ,word ptr [ eax + 0160h ] ;0x005446cd : 0fb7b860010000
