FoxPro 1.x for DOS - Requires 512K RAM, MS/PC-DOS 2.0 or greater. FoxPro/LAN requires network software that supports NETBIOS interface and a hard disk drive on a network server. Requires 640K RAM and MS/PC-DOS 3.1 or higher on network workstations.

I believe it includes these manuals:

Determining FoxPro 2.0 version number: I'm told that in all the extensive documentation with FoxPro, the only place where it says which version you have is on a small piece of paper (approximately 3.5' x 8.5' ) which has the activation key, serial number and is printed 'FoxPro Single User' (or perhaps multi-user for the multi-user LAN version). The top of this paper starts off in bold letters saying: 'NOTE: DO NOT THROW AWAY!'

The earlier style of manuals, used by Fox Software, probably included some combination of:
Commands and Functions
Developer's Guide
Getting Started, title page dated August 1991
Interface Guide, title page dated August 1991
Quick Reference, 71 pages, © 1989, 1991
Master Index, 39 pages, © 1989, 1991

And maybe also:
