In this repo, we have extracted the Help info for FoxTools.fll from the old ToolHelp.hlp file originally created by George Tasker and posted to Universal Thread (now Level Extreme) at this link: https://www.levelextreme.com/ShowHeaderDownloadOneItem.aspx?ID=9333 way back in February 1998.
- NOTE: This documentation is not yet completely extracted from the HLP file... It is, for now, only extracted lists of function names and categories. I will complete the remaining extraction of all the documentation in the future.

A complete, cross-referenced, comprehensive help file containing all the functions in the FOXTOOLS.FLL library for Visual FoxPro for Windows. Includes a number of samples as to how to use the functions.
Information contained (exctracted) in this help file has been obtained from a number of sources. These include the FOXTOOLS.WRI file included in FoxPro for Windows 2.x, the Microsoft Knowledge Base, the Library Construction Kit, and the Visual FoxPro 5.0 Help File.
Additional information, especially that connected with the FoxPro API functions exposed by FOXTOOLS, has been obtained mostly been through trial and error by the author. Naturally, no warranty is either intended or implied by the publication of this document. Indeed, since the library was first released, Microsoft’s stated position has been and is one of no guarantee of current or future support. However, through five versions, no functions have been removed except those incorporated into the language proper, but some have been added. This help file is complete through version 6.0.
I would appreciate any feedback regarding this work. This includes correction of any errors found, or suggestions as to providing additional examples. Feel free to email me at : gtasker@compuserve.com

I would like to acknowledge the following people:
Rick Strahl of West Wind Technologies, for sparking my interest in the API functions.
Steve Despres and Roxanne Seibert for their words of encouragement.
David Frankenbach for pointing out the FoxTouch() function and a source of information about it.
Robert Green of Microsoft, for encouraging me to expand this project
Michel Fournier of Fournier Transformation, Inc., for providing the Universal Thread as a means of distribution.
Joshua D. Weiss of Boston Microcomputer Consulting, for providing the information regarding the functions from the library added to the language in version 6.0.
Christof Lange, The Foxpert!, for information on a documentation source for the functions _WsockStartUp(), _WSockGetHostByAddr(), and _WSockCleanUp(). Christof also provided additional information for the last element of the array populated by _EdGetEnv(). Further, Christof’s feedback on one of his projects led directly to the section entitled, “Invalid whandles” and additional information on _EdGetLNum() and _EdGetLPos(). My thanks to him for his continuing feedback and support of this project. Most recently he has provided information regarding problems with _EGetEnv(). His continued support of this project is greatly appreciated.
